A jumbo loan is for home loans that exceed the local conforming loan limit and are considered to be riskier for lenders. Loan limits vary by county, and since the loan cannot be guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, they typically have more stringent guidelines, require higher down payments, and higher credit scores.
If you live in a higher cost area, you likely have a higher conforming loan limit. We can evaluate other loan options such as a combined first and second mortgage, also known as a piggyback loan. Serving as a true fiduciary, we compare several different loan options on your behalf, showing the difference in loan benefits with easy-to-read reports, charts, and graphs – smart mortgage thinking built-in! A Jumbo Loan requires:
• Higher credit score
• Higher reserve requirements (6-12 mo.)
• Down payment typically 10%-20% or greater
• Stricter guidelines
