Non-QM mortgage lending grows as 88% of brokers expect higher volumes soon

A&D Mortgage's recent survey shows 74.5% of brokers report rising Non-QM loan volumes, with 88.4% anticipating further growth. Non-QM loans, favored for their flexibility, are mainly driven by investor and DSCR loans and borrowers outside agency guidelines. Despite optimism, brokers see room for tech improvements in Non-QM processes compared to the broader mortgage market. This trend highlights Non-QM lending's expanding role and the need for innovative, tech-driven solutions to support brokers and borrowers.
