What do lenders look at when considering borrowers for jumbo home loans?

The rules for things like down payments and credit scores change based on whether your jumbo home loan is for a main home, vacation home, or investment property. Call us any time and we can give you a real home loan quote based on your specific situation.

Is it harder to get a jumbo mortgage than a conventional mortgage?

No matter which type of home loan you get, jumbo versus Fannie Mae versus Freddie Mac versus FHA, it's important to know you're able to repay the mortgage. With a jumbo home loan, part of that ability to repay is making sure you have enough money saved to weather a financial storm. Most people will need enough savings to cover between 6 and 24 months of mortgage payments. But every borrower is unique so check with us to find out how this rule-of-thumb applies in your case.

Do I need a bigger down payment to get a jumbo home loan?

You can get a jumbo loan with as little as 10% down and half of that can come from a gift from family or close friends.

In general, the more you want to borrow, the bigger your down payment needs to be. The down payment you have to make for a $1 million jumbo home loan will be smaller than the down payment you have to make for a $3 million jumbo home loan. To make the smallest possible down payment, it helps to have a good credit score and a reasonable amount of debt compared to income. Call us any time and we can give you a real home loan quote based on your specific situation.

What are the benefits of jumbo home loans versus conventional mortgages?

You can borrow a lot more money using a jumbo home loan, up to $3 million, compared to a conventional mortgage.

Call us any time and we can give you a real home loan quote based on your specific situation.

What are the benefits of jumbo home loans versus government-insured home loans?

The answer depends on your credit score and down payment. You can expect jumbo interest rates to float around .125% to .25% higher than conventional home loan interest rates. Call us any time and we can give you a real interest rate quote based on your specific situation.

What credit score do I need to get a jumbo home loan?

The rules say you will likely need a FICO score of 680 on the low end. In general, the higher your credit score, the lower your down payment can be. Every borrower is unique so check with us to find out how this rule-of-thumb applies in your case.
