How It Works
How a jumbo loan actually works
A jumbo loan exceeds the conforming loan limit for your county, so it cannot be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Pricing and guidelines are set by the individual investor, which makes lender selection the single biggest factor in your outcome.
- 01
Confirm the threshold
We check your county conforming and high-balance limits first — sometimes a small structure change keeps you out of jumbo pricing.
- 02
Documentation depth
Expect a fuller file: two years of returns, extended asset history, and reserves after closing.
- 03
Down payment & reserves
Commonly 10–20% down depending on loan size, with post-closing reserves measured in months of payments.
- 04
Appraisal requirements
Larger loans may require a second appraisal or a desk review to support value.
- 05
Investor matching
Jumbo guidelines vary widely between investors. We place your file where your specific profile prices best.
- 06
Close with certainty
We manage conditions aggressively so a large, document-heavy file still closes on your contract timeline.
Your Options
Jumbo structures worth comparing
High-balance financing rewards structure. These are the levers that move your payment and approval odds.
- 30-year fixed jumbo
- Maximum predictability on a large balance.
- 7/1 or 10/1 ARM
- Frequently priced below fixed jumbo — strong if your horizon is under a decade.
- Interest-only
- Lower required payment during the initial period, useful for bonus-driven or equity-heavy borrowers.
- Piggyback (80/10/10)
- A conforming first plus a second mortgage to avoid jumbo pricing and mortgage insurance.
- Asset-depletion qualifying
- Qualify from liquid assets rather than traditional monthly income.
- Bank-statement jumbo
- For self-employed borrowers whose tax returns understate real cash flow.
Honest Advice
Getting a jumbo approval right the first time
Jumbo declines are usually structural, not personal. These are the factors that decide the outcome.
Ideal for you
A great fit if you have…
Strong reserves
Documented post-closing reserves are the single most persuasive item in a jumbo file.
Clean two-year history
Stable, well-documented income at a large loan size opens the best pricing tiers.
High credit
At 740+ the pricing spread between investors is significant — shopping pays real money.
Another program may win
Consider alternatives if you have…
Complex income
K-1s, RSUs and multi-entity income need careful presentation. Done wrong, it looks like a decline.
Unique properties
Rural acreage, non-warrantable condos and unusual homes narrow the investor list. We identify that early.
Just over the limit
If you are barely into jumbo territory, a piggyback structure often costs less. We run both.

Questions
Jumbo Loans FAQs
What is a jumbo loan?
A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limit set for your county. Because they can’t be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, jumbo loans have their own underwriting guidelines — and CDL Mortgage works with lenders who specialize in them.
What credit score do I need for a jumbo loan?
Jumbo loans typically require stronger credit than conforming loans — often a score of 700 or higher — along with lower debt-to-income ratios and documented reserves. We’ll review your profile and match you to the right jumbo program.
How much down payment is required for a jumbo loan?
Down payment requirements vary by lender and loan size, but many jumbo programs start around 10% to 20% down. Larger down payments often unlock better rates and terms.
Are jumbo loan rates higher than conventional rates?
Not always. In many markets jumbo rates are very competitive with — and occasionally lower than — conforming rates, because jumbo borrowers tend to be strong credit risks. We’ll shop multiple investors to find your best pricing.
Can I get a jumbo loan for a second home or investment property?
Yes. Jumbo financing is available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties, though guidelines and down payment requirements differ by occupancy. Ask us about your specific scenario.
