A creditor originates a 40-year mortgage with a 42% DTI ratio calculated using appendix Q standards. The loan has no risky features and meets all other QM requirements. What is this loan's QM status?

Correct Answer

C) Not a QM due to the 40-year term

Under 12 CFR 1026.43(e)(2)(ii), a qualified mortgage cannot have a loan term exceeding 30 years. Despite meeting the DTI requirement and having no other risky features, the 40-year term automatically disqualifies the loan from QM status.

B

C
Not a QM due to the 40-year term
D
Temporary QM if GSE-eligible
