Mortgage Navigator • Jumbo / Non-Conforming

Jumbo Occupancy

Primary residence, second home and investment-property jumbo loans can have very different matrices.

Occupancy affects risk

Investor requirements for LTV, reserves, credit and pricing can become more restrictive for second homes and investment properties.

Multiple properties

Borrowers with multiple financed properties may face additional reserve and documentation requirements depending on the investor.

Jumbo is investor-specific. Unlike Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA or USDA, there is no single national jumbo underwriting handbook. Credit score, LTV, DTI, reserves, loan size, property, appraisal and income rules can vary materially by investor and lender. This page explains common underwriting concepts—not a universal approval matrix.
