The Fundamentals

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.

Program Options

Three paths through jumbo financing.

Purchase, refinance, or finance a second home — each structured for a different use case at jumbo scale.

Most Popular

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.

Rate/Term + Cash-Out

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.

Vacation & Investment

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 underwriting requires strong credit, full income documentation, asset verification, and typically significant reserves. LTV caps vary by loan size, occupancy, and borrower profile. All loans subject to credit and underwriting approval — and lender program eligibility.
Why Lendmire

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.

Program Highlights

Larger loans, tailored structure.

90% LTV
Up to 90% financing on the 660+ lane and 89.99% CLTV on the other fixed lanes, subject to credit profile, occupancy and loan size.
Fixed + ARM Options
Choose fixed-rate stability for long-term holds, or adjustable-rate (5/6, 7/6, 10/6) to optimize for a planned ownership horizon.
Flexible Documentation
Full-doc jumbo is standard, but we also offer asset-based qualification, bank statement jumbo, and specialty programs for self-employed or high-asset borrowers.
No Prepayment Penalty
Most jumbo programs allow early payoff without penalty — refinance or pay down aggressively without losing flexibility.
Also Consider

Programs worth comparing.

If the loan amount fits conforming limits — or your documentation structure fits better elsewhere — these alternatives may deliver better economics. Already own above the limit and want equity out? See the jumbo cash-out refinance program.

Conforming Limit

Conventional Loan

For loan amounts at or below the conforming limit, conventional financing often offers lower rates and more flexible underwriting than jumbo.

Self-Employed

Bank Statement Loan

Qualify on 12 months of bank deposits instead of tax returns. Loan amounts to $3.5M standard and to $30M on review — covers most jumbo scenarios for self-employed high earners.

Real Estate Investors
