Consumer Protections: Residential QM loans are designed to protect borrowers by imposing specific lending standards that reduce the risk of default, making the loan terms more understandable and transparent.
Stable Interest Rates: QM loans often come with fixed interest rates, providing borrowers with predictable and stable monthly payments.
