Go Big with Confidence Using a Jumbo Loan: Your Guide to Financing Luxury Properties

What is a Jumbo Loan?

A Jumbo Loan is a mortgage that exceeds county limits for conforming and high-balance loans set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. 

At Valor Lending Group, we offer full-document jumbo loan solutions for purchases, refinancing, and cash-out options, helping you secure and maintain the luxury property of your dreams.

Why Choose a Jumbo Loan?

Traditional mortgage lenders evaluate income using tax returns, W-2s, and paycheck stubs. Salaried and hourly borrowers qualify based on gross income, while self-employed individuals are assessed based on net income reported on tax returns. Debt-to-income (DTI) ratios play a crucial role, with conventional lenders typically requiring a DTI of 43% or lower.

At Valor Lending Group, we provide more flexibility. Our funding sources allow for DTI ratios up to 50%, along with lower credit scores and down payment requirements compared to traditional lenders. Think Big, Live Bigger with a Jumbo Loan, and gain access to financing solutions designed for high-value properties.

How to Qualify for a Jumbo Loan

Qualifying for a Jumbo Loan is similar to securing a conventional or high-balance mortgage. You’ll need full documentation, including:

  • Two years of tax returns
  • W-2s or 1099s
  • Recent pay stubs
  • Proof of assets and reserves

Lenders will assess your credit score, income stability, and debt-to-income ratio to determine eligibility.

Key Requirements for Borrowers

1) Self-Employed Borrowers

Jumbo lenders typically require a minimum of two years of self-employment history, verified through business or professional licenses. Business owners must provide two years of business tax returns showing stable or growing income. Co-borrowers’ W-2 earnings may also be considered for qualification

2) Employed Borrowers

Lenders evaluate two years of tax returns, W-2s, and pay stubs. Additional qualifying income sources include social security, pensions, annuities, and retirement distributions. If starting a new job in the same industry, an employment offer letter outlining salary, start date, and benefits may be required

a) Qualifying Hourly Employee Income

For W-2 hourly employees, lenders calculate an average based on the past two years of tax returns. They may also factor in bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, and sick leave

b) Qualifying Salaried Employee Income

For salaried borrowers, lenders consider 100% of your current salary without averaging previous years. However, commissions and bonuses are typically averaged over two years

Income, Debt & Credit Requirements

Lenders calculate your DTI ratio by comparing monthly income to all debts—including your new mortgage, property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees. Most lenders cap DTI at 43%, but Valor Lending Group offers financing with DTI up to 50% for qualified borrowers.

Jumbo loans generally require a minimum credit score of 700, though some programs offer flexibility based on additional qualifications.

Down Payments, Interest Rates & Costs

  • Down Payments: Most jumbo loans require at least 20% down, though some programs allow for as little as 10% with specific conditions
  • Interest Rates: Expect slightly higher rates than conventional loans due to increased lender risk. However, larger down payments and stronger credit profiles can lead to better rates
  • Loan Costs: Standard fees include origination points, broker/lender fees, appraisals, and title/escrow costs. Gift funds may be allowed for down payments but not always for reserve requirements

Owner-Occupied vs. Non-Owner-Occupied Jumbo Loans

a) Owner-Occupied

Jumbo loans for primary residences and second homes allow for up to 90% loan-to-value (LTV) financing, with lower interest rates and credit score requirements.

b) Non-Owner-Occupied (Investment Properties)

Investment property jumbo loans typically require a minimum 20% down payment, higher interest rates, and stronger credit profiles. These loans can be vested in a personal name, trust, or entity such as an LLC or corporation.

Special Jumbo Loan Programs

Jumbo Bank Statement Loans

Self-employed borrowers who don’t show sufficient taxable income on tax returns may qualify with bank statement loans, using 12–24 months of bank statements to verify income. Some lenders offer loans up to $10MM or more.

Jumbo Loans for 2–4 Unit Properties

Jumbo loans are available for multi-unit residential properties. Loan-to-value (LTV) ratios decrease as the number of units increases, but financing remains an option for larger investments.

VA Jumbo Loans

VA Jumbo Loans provide 100% financing up to $1.5MM, with competitive rates and no mortgage insurance. Valor Lending Group offers VA Jumbo Loans for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and their families:

  • 640+ FICO: 10% down required for loans over $1.5MM
  • 740+ FICO: No down payment required
