Loan Purpose Guidelines

Loan to value requirements for jumbo mortgages are typically lower than those associated with loans from lenders offering FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac products.

All jumbo and super jumbo loans are based upon full documentation (full doc) requirements where borrowers will need to provide:

  • Full 2 years of tax returns
  • Current Financials if self employed
  • Paystubs and W2s
  • Full Asset and Bank Statements

Many lenders will limit the amounts of cash out allowed in any kind of refinance transaction on jumbo and super jumbo loans. 

 

Liquidity

Many lenders will require jumbo and super jumbo borrowers to have liquid reserves that are verified. Retirement assets typically are not counted in the reserve calculation.  Many lenders will require either 12 or 24 months.

Multiple Appraisals & Reviews

Due to the difficulty of setting market values for luxury homes, it is not unusual for super jumbo mortgage lenders to require 2 full appraisals at a minimum for properties valued at $1,500,000 or more. Should the subject property be unique, or comparable sales be difficult to obtain for the purpose of deriving value, additional field review appraisals, desk review appraisals, and broker price opinions may be ordered to substantiate the property's value. This is a significant concern for the lender as the asset in which they are taking a security interest must have a reasonable value to justify their risk and associated premiums.

Property Types

Super jumbo loans are usually only available on primary residence and second homes.  Second homes should not be part of a rental pool or any kind of rental income from that property can be used in qualification for the loan.  No investment properties are allowed for jumbo and super jumbo mortgage financing.  Eligible property types include:

  • Single Family Homes - Attached or detached
  • Condominiums
  • Co-Ops (usually restricted to New York)
