Préstamos Jumbo
A jumbo loan is a mortgage used to finance properties that are too expensive for a conventional conforming loan. The maximum amount for a conforming loan is $766,550 in most counties, as determined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Homes that exceed the local conforming loan limit require a jumbo loan. Also called non-conforming conventional mortgages, jumbo loans are considered riskier for lenders because these loans can't be guaranteed by Fannie and Freddie, meaning the lender is not protected from losses if a borrower defaults. Jumbo loans are typically available with either a fixed interest rate or an adjustable rate, and they come with a variety of terms.
Advantages

high-cost homes
• Competitive interest rates

• Flexible terms (fixed or adjustable)

Downpayment Requirements
Jumbo loan down payments vary by lender, but here’s what most borrowers can expect:
• 10%–20% Down (Most Common)
Most jumbo programs fall in this range, especially for borrowers with strong credit, solid income, and good reserves.
• 20%–30% Down (Higher-Risk Scenarios)
If the borrower has lower credit, a higher DTI, or is buying a non-warrantable condo, second home, or investment property, lenders may require a larger down payment.
• 5%–10% Down (Special Programs)
Some lenders offer reduced down payment jumbo loans for well-qualified borrowers with excellent financial profiles.
• Reserves May Be Required
Unlike conventional loans, jumbo loans often require several months of cash reserves to qualify.
