Built on industry standards
Our estimates are based on aggregated guidelines from major non-QM lenders. We tell you which programs typically fit and why — not which specific lender to call.
No commitments, no fees
LendQM is free and educational. We don't take referral fees from lenders, so the estimate isn't shaped by who's paying us. Final qualification is always determined by a lender's underwriter.
Updated continuously
Non-QM guidelines move with the market. We refresh program parameters and rate ranges so you're estimating against today's environment, not last year's.

LendQM is an educational estimator. The output is based on industry-typical non-QM guidelines aggregated across major lenders. It is not a credit decision, a pre-qualification letter, or a commitment from any lender. Final qualification is always determined by the lender's underwriter after a complete file review and credit pull. We don't charge you and we don't pull your credit.
The information you enter on LendQM stays with you and the LendQM team. We don't share your data with lenders, brokers, or third parties without your explicit consent. We don't earn referral fees from lenders, so the estimate isn't shaped by who's paying us. If you provide an email address to download a report, we use it only to deliver that report and — if you opt in — to send our weekly non-QM rate update.
