Correct answer: A Non-QM loan
Interest-only loans are explicitly prohibited from receiving Qualified Mortgage status under any QM category. A QM loan must have payments that fully amortize the loan over the loan term and cannot have interest-only periods. Because interest-only structures are a disqualifying feature, any loan with this characteristic is automatically a Non-QM loan, regardless of the lender's size or the loan's other characteristics.
