Sometimes when you are applying for a mortgage, you discover that the amount you need to borrow exceeds the limits for a conforming loan.
When such a scenario happens, you need to apply for a jumbo loan.
What is a Jumbo Home Loan?

What are the Eligibility Requirements for a Jumbo Mortgage?

- Your credit score
- Your debt-to-income ratio
- Your down payment ability (15% or higher)
- Your cash reserves (at least six months)
- Your employment history and status
You may need to get two appraisals to complete the mortgage process and buy a home with a jumbo loan.
