A loan beyond the conforming cap.
A jumbo loan is a mortgage used to finance homes that exceed the conforming loan limits set annually by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Conforming limits are set each year by the FHFA, by county and unit count, with higher limits in high-cost areas; a Lendmire loan officer confirms the figure for your county. Any loan amount above the applicable limit is, by definition, non-conforming — it cannot be purchased or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Because jumbo loans stay on the lender’s books or move through private investor channels, underwriting is generally stricter — stronger credit, deeper reserves, full asset documentation. In exchange, jumbo programs offer loan sizes and structural flexibility unavailable through conforming products. Lendmire works with multiple wholesale lenders offering jumbo programs tailored to different borrower profiles — from portfolio lenders with physician loan programs to specialists serving self-employed high earners.
Three paths through jumbo financing.
Purchase, refinance, or finance a second home — each structured for a different use case at jumbo scale.
Jumbo Purchase
Up to 90% LTV on the 660+ lane and 89.99% CLTV on the other fixed lanes. Fixed-rate and ARM options (5/6, 7/6, 10/6). Full-doc underwriting with asset verification.
Jumbo Refinance
Refinance an existing jumbo to lower your rate, shorten your term, or access equity from a high-value home. Cash-out LTV varies by lender and borrower profile.
Second Home & Investment
Jumbo financing for second homes and select investment properties. Lower LTV caps than primary residences, with strong programs available for borrowers with deep reserves.
Jumbo financing, structured around you.
Jumbo underwriting is about profile, not pattern. A W-2 executive with stable income gets a different jumbo program than a self-employed entrepreneur with irregular cash flow and substantial assets. The borrowers who fit jumbo financing rarely fit the same box twice.
We work with multiple wholesale lenders specializing in different jumbo corners — portfolio banks, asset-based lenders, and full-doc jumbo desks. That lets us match the loan to the borrower instead of forcing the borrower into whichever jumbo program a single lender happens to offer. The result: faster approvals, great rates, and structures that actually fit.
