What is a jumbo loan
A Jumbo loan is a mortgage used when the loan amount exceeds the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because these loans are larger, they follow different underwriting guidelines than conventional conforming mortgages.

- Finance luxury or high-value homes
- Purchase in competitive or high-cost markets
- Flexible income documentation options (program dependent)
- Competitive rates for strong credit borrowers
- Options for primary homes, second homes, and investment properties
Jumbo loan uses
- Home purchase
- Rate-and-term refinance
- Cash-out refinance (guidelines apply)

Jumbo loans may be a good fit if you are:
- Buying a high-value or luxury home
- Refinancing an existing jumbo mortgage
- Self-employed or using alternative income documentation (program dependent)
- An investor purchasing a qualifying property
