For one-unit properties, loans above the local high-cost ceiling move into jumbo territory.
Jumbo loans are designed for borrowers who need to finance above conforming and high-balance limits. They can also be a good fit for affluent buyers, self-employed borrowers, or clients who want interest-only flexibility and portfolio-style underwriting.
Often 10 to 20 percent for primary homes, with larger contributions common for second homes or investment properties.
700 and above is ideal, though some scenarios can work lower with strong compensating factors.
Many jumbo files require 6 to 12 months of principal, interest, taxes, and insurance in reserves.
