A higher-priced home in Kaser can push your loan past the conforming limit that FHFA sets, which makes it a jumbo loan. If your income also comes from a business, commissions or investments rather than a salary, a non-QM jumbo may be the route that fits. New York lenders reviewing these files tend to look hard at your assets, the property's value and how your income is documented.
Call to speak with a licensed loan officer about Non-QM jumbo loans in Kaser. Programs vary by borrower, property and investor.
High-balance lending around Kaser
HMDA data show 90 jumbo first mortgages in Rockland County in 2024. 21.3% of conventional first liens there were not sold to another institution in the year they were made, which includes loans lenders keep on their own books, the usual home for jumbo and non-QM loans. The median home in Kaser is valued at about $877,000; whether a loan is jumbo depends on the loan amount and that year's limit for the county.
When a loan becomes jumbo and why your income type matters
Two separate tests decide what kind of loan you are looking at. The first is size: whether the amount you need exceeds the conforming limit FHFA publishes for Rockland County. The second is documentation: whether your income can be proven with tax returns and the usual paperwork, or needs another method.
If your loan is large and your returns tell your income story well, a full-doc jumbo is usually worth pricing first, because it often costs less. If your returns understate your earnings, a non-QM jumbo can use deposits or a preparer-backed P&L instead. It often prices higher, since it carries more risk for the investor. Asking for both quotes at the start keeps you from guessing.

Reserves and asset documentation on a large balance
On a jumbo loan, what you have left after closing matters almost as much as what you earn. Lenders call this money reserves, and they measure it against your housing payment using a count the program sets. Larger loans and non-traditional income usually mean deeper reserve expectations.
Eligible reserves commonly include checking, savings, brokerage accounts and vested retirement funds, though retirement and market-based assets may be counted at less than full value. Expect to provide complete statements, every page, for each account. Large deposits will need a paper trail. If money is moving between business and personal accounts, or arriving from a sale or a gift, document the source before you apply rather than after an underwriter asks.
Who this tends to fit
- You hold substantial savings or investments and can document them fully
- You were turned down for a full-doc jumbo because of how your income is reported
- Your loan amount exceeds the conforming limit for your county
- You are buying a custom, waterfront or acreage property that needs careful valuation
- You own a business and your returns show less income than you actually earn
Local offices and New York rules to know
- Deed and mortgage recording: Rockland County Clerk's Office. Your mortgage is recorded here after closing.
New York recording costs: Mortgage recording tax (state, plus local mortgage recording taxes in New York City, Yonkers and some counties), paid to the county recording office when the mortgage is recorded; real estate transfer tax on deeds/conveyances (filed with Form TP-584, or TP-584-NYC in New York City), including the additional 'mansion tax' on higher-priced residential purchases, which is paid by the buyer. Your Loan Estimate lists the taxes that apply to your loan.
Appraising a high-value home in Kaser
Appraisals on higher-priced homes are often harder than on typical houses. There may be fewer recent sales of similar homes nearby, and features such as acreage, waterfront, custom construction or a guest house are harder to value. Lenders commonly use more experienced appraisers for these files and may order a second appraisal or a desk review on larger loans.
Because your down payment and the loan amount both depend on the appraised value, a low figure can force a change in plans. Ask whether the lender requires one appraisal or two, who chooses the appraiser, and how a reconsideration of value works. Share a list of upgrades and recent comparable sales your agent has found so the appraiser has full information.
Before you call
- A paper trail for large deposits, transfers, gifts or asset sales
- A CPA or preparer letter if business funds will be used to close
- Personal or business bank statements for the review window the program uses
- Your filed returns, so a full-doc jumbo can be priced for comparison
- Recent comparable sales and a list of the home's upgrades for the appraiser
Questions Kaser borrowers ask about Non-QM jumbo loans
Can I get a jumbo loan with bank statements?
You may be eligible. Many non-QM jumbo programs review personal or business bank statements over a set window and apply an expense factor or a preparer's expense letter to business deposits. Expect closer review of reserves, credit and the appraisal than on a smaller loan. Requirements differ by borrower, property and investor, and each file is subject to credit approval.
Should I try a full-doc jumbo before a non-QM jumbo?
If your tax returns support the income you need, a full-doc jumbo is usually worth pricing first, since it often costs less and draws on more lenders. If your returns understate your earnings because of deductions or a recent jump in business income, a non-QM jumbo may be the realistic path. Asking for both scenarios at once shows you the real difference.
How is a non-QM jumbo different from a regular jumbo?
A regular jumbo usually follows full-documentation standards, using tax returns, W-2s and detailed credit review. A non-QM jumbo sits outside the Qualified Mortgage rules so it can use bank statements, a profit-and-loss statement or assets to establish income. The lender still has to determine that you can repay. Non-QM jumbos often price higher because they carry more risk for the investor.
Can I use business funds for a jumbo down payment?
Many programs allow it with documentation. Lenders commonly want proof that removing the money will not hurt the business, often through a CPA or tax preparer letter or a review of business cash flow. Moving funds into a personal account early and keeping a clear paper trail can make sourcing simpler. Ask your loan officer how they handle business assets.
