Sometimes, a conventional conforming loan is too restrictive. If you need to borrow more, you can apply for a non-conforming “jumbo” loan.
What is a Jumbo Loan?
A jumbo loan is a conventional loan that exceeds the conforming loan limits for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Like conforming loans, non-conforming loans are not backed by government agencies.

- Your credit score
- Your debt-to-income ratio
- Your employment status and history
- Your cash reserves (should be six months or more)
- Your down payment ability (should be 15% or more)
