Does Defy Mortgage specialize in non-QM loans?
If we had a middle name it would be non-QM. Real estate investors who strike while others hesitate. Self-employed grinders who built their own empire. High earners with income that doesn't fit in a box. If the banks turned you down for being "too complicated," you just found your people. We don't do cookie-cutter. We do deals others won't touch. Non-QM lending isn't just what we offer—it's how we dominate. Learn more about our non-QM loans.
