What Is a Jumbo Loan?
A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set for purchase by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because these loans fall outside standard guidelines, they often require stronger credit profiles, higher reserves, and more detailed underwriting.
Jumbo Loans are commonly used for:
- Luxury primary residences
- High-value second homes
- Executive relocations
- Investment properties
- Refinancing large existing mortgages

Jumbo Loan Requirements
Because of the larger loan size, jumbo loans typically require more detailed underwriting.

Typically 680–700 minimum (higher scores receive better pricing).
Down Payment
Commonly 10–20%. Some borrowers may qualify with as little as 5–10% depending on profile.
Income & Employment
Stable documented income is required. Self-employed borrowers may qualify using tax returns, bank statements, or alternative documentation.
Reserves
Many lenders require several months of mortgage payments in reserves or liquid assets.
Debt-to-Income Ratio

How It Works
Instead of relying solely on employment income, lenders may use:

- Trust income
- Business assets
A portion of these assets is converted into qualifying income.
Benefits
- No traditional income verification required
- Flexible qualification for complex financial profiles
