What is a Jumbo Loan

Jumbo Home Loans are simply Loans that are over the $715,000 conforming limit. They have a few different rules then regular FHA, Conventional or VA home loans.

A Jumbo Loan is a nonconforming loan with mortgage amounts higher than those set by Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA, referred to as Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC, referred to as Freddie Mac).

Although Jumbo home mortgages and conforming home mortgages have many similarities, there are some key differences to be aware of, including your credit score and credit history, debt-to-income ratio, the amount of down payment and cash reserves required by the lender.

What types of properties can Jumbo Loans be used for?

What you should know about Jumbo Loans

Each lender will set their own underwriting guidelines. Therefore, working with a Mortgage Broker is critical, we can shop different lenders, including wholesale lenders that borrowers usually don't have access to.

Jumbo loans are riskier than conforming loans for lenders because they are not insured by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, so if the borrower defaults, the lender is responsible for 100% of the loss.

Besides jumbo loans having stricter requirements and requireing more paperwork their rates and loan to value options are close to conforming loan rates and loan to values. Jumbo loans will usually have a higher closing cost than conforming loans also.

Many jumbo loan programs may not require private mortgage insurance for well qualified borrowers.

Jumbo Loan Underwriting

Loan Underwriting Process

The process for underwriting a Jumbo loan is stricter than a conforming home loan. They will require the same documents you provide with conforming but can also require a 2nd appraisal of the home from the lender.

Usually Loan amounts less than $1,500,000 require one full appraisal and loan amounts greater than $1,500,000 require two full appraisals.

Credit Score

Credit scores will need to be higher than non-jumbo loans. Usually a 680 will be the bare minimum for some programs and most of programs will require a minimum of a 720-credit score.

Debt to Income Ratios

The lower the DTI (debt to income ratio), the better. The maximum DTI is usually at 50%.

Seller Concessions

  • LTV (Loan to value) greater than 75.01% - up to 3%.
  • LTV less than or equal to 75% - up to 6%.
  • For investment properties - up to 2%.

Cash Reserves

Cash reserves for a Jumbo loan refers to the number of months of cash available after closing. Reserves are defined as PITIA (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance and Association Dues) and are calculated off the new payment of the subject property.

If you have additional financed properties, other than the subject property the reserve requirement is usually increased. Assets used for reserves must be owned by the borrower.

The types of assets that may be used for reserves and the value of those funds are as follows:

  • Checking or Savings Accounts, Money Markets, CD, Cash Value (surrender Value) of Life Insurance and other cash equivalents – 100% of the value may be used.
  • Publicly traded stocks, bonds and mutual funds – 70% of value may be used.
