The Points & Fees thresholds for determining QM status have been decreased and cannot exceed the following:

Loan Amount:                              Points & Fees Cap:

$102,894 & Up…………………… 3% (of the Total Loan Amount)

$61,737 – $102,893.99………….. $3,087

$20,579 – $61,736.99…………… 5% (of the Total Loan Amount)

$12,862 – $20,578.99…………… $1,029

Under $12,862…………………… 8% (of the Total Loan Amount)

**The above thresholds apply to most types of QMs. However, if your institution originates “Special QMs” under any government programs (HUD, VA, etc.), you should check those specific program requirements.
