Andy Harris Interviewed in Article About Non-QM

Many don’t know what a “QM” or Qualified Mortgage is vs. a “Non-QM” or Non-Qualified Mortgage under Dodd-Frank Financial Reform now controlled by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).  If you or anyone you know will require non-traditional financing (asset-based, low new income self-employed, unique, etc.) for any reason, the Non-QM or private investor/portfolio market is something to keep an eye on.

VMG Mortgage Rate Tracker

Mortgage rates recently hit one of their lowest levels of 2014 (an interesting market to say the least).  It is wise to keep your eye on the bond market if you have an adjustable rate coming due in the next few years or if you believe there is potential for improvement.  

If you know of anyone buying a home now or in the near future, certainly have them compare against Vantage.  We are very confident in our combined elite experience and market-leading pricing in the Northwest to compare against any existing or considered mortgage provider if not VMG.  *We have a new consumer pricing engine also that one can use for informal comparison (math is math) – just ask me for the link if interested.
