As it has been mentioned, there has definitely been a lot of easing with the conforming guidelines. I have also noticed a lot of local banks across the country are opening up a lot of non-QM loans (non-traditional credit, low down payment, etc.)

Things are far easier than even just a year ago. Guidelines have loosened, new programs have become available, and if you've got semi-decent credit and 3% down (in most cases), a home loan can be yours.

Good morning Peter. There has been easing of some guidelines and there will be more. More non-QM products available all better for the consumer.
