QM = Qualified Mortgage
A QM Loan is a long-term loan for a home that has met all the consumer protection requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. This type of mortgage is the underwriting standard of the mortgage industry.
Under the “Ability-to-Repay” Rule, all new mortgages must comply with basic requirements that protect consumers from taking on loans they don’t have the ability to repay.
Financial information has to be supplied and verified
Lenders must look at buyer’s financial information
Borrowers must have sufficient assets and income to repay the loan
Lenders must evaluate and conclude that the borrower has the ability to repay
No balloons on Owner Occupied Loans – However Interest Rate may adjust after 60 months.
Certain risk Loan Features are not permitted
Terms exceeding 30 years
Interest Only Payments
Negative Amortization where Principal Amount Increases
A limit on how much of your income can go towards your debt
No excess upfront points and fees
Certain legal protections for lenders
A Qualified Mortgage protects you if they buyer defaults
A Qualified Mortgage sells at a higher rate if/when you need to sell your note
An investor/note buyer does not want to inherit your problems
Doing this work up front provides due diligence information for note buyers
Good underwriting is 90% of the work for a Good, Performing Note
Your RMLO is protecting you by providing the borrower’s income, asset and credit information, not simply disclosures.
The RMLO’s Job is to:
Prepare disclosures
Ensure the timeframes are met for documents
Correctly categorize the loan as High-Cost or Higher-Cost as this impacts the disclosures and requirements
TILA section 129C(a)(1); 15 U.S.C.
No creditor may make a residential mortgage loan unless the creditor makes a reasonable and good faith determination based on verified and documented information that, at the time the loan is consummated, the consumer has a reasonable ability to repay the loan, according to its terms, and all applicable taxes, insurance (including mortgage guarantee insurance) and assessments.

Proven, non-qualifying seller financing transactions which have been utilized for more than 100 years as effective sales tools in commercial, raw land and residential real estate transactions. Under owner financing an existing seller’s loan(s) (Prior Note(s)) are not assumed by the buyer, but a seller financed loan is stacked on the Prior Note(s). The Seller remains fully obligated for payments under the Prior Note(s) and no relationship is established between the buyer and seller lenders. The Buyer’s obligations are limited only to the terms of the owner financing, which is payable to the Seller.
Is transfer of ownership in violation of the "Due on Sale Clause" in a residential mortgage illegal?
No. Violation of a public law is illegal, i.e. traffic tickets, punishable by fines, etc. Violation of a “due on sale clause” is not illegal. A real estate mortgage is a lender contract under civil law. Texas civil law provides non-judicial foreclosure as the primary lender remedy for breach of a mortgage contract, in the form of payment default.
