Nontraditional mortgage products
What are nontraditional mortgages?
Nontraditional mortgages may be extended to borrowers in nontraditional situations. They can also be offered to subprime borrowers who are willing to pay higher rates of interest for alternative terms. Additionally, some borrowers may simply choose nontraditional mortgages because of the flexibility they offer. If you have had trouble qualifying for mortgages in the past, nontraditional mortgages may offer a product that fits your situation.
