Explanation
A Qualified Mortgage is a category of loan that meets specific product and underwriting criteria and, in return, gives the creditor a presumption of compliance (safe harbor or rebuttable presumption) with the ability-to-repay requirement. A QM does not guarantee against default, does not waive income verification, and generally cannot have balloon or risky features.
