A jumbo loan is any mortgage larger than the conforming limit set each year for the county you are buying in. In much of Los Angeles that limit arrives sooner than people expect, which means plenty of ordinary purchases are jumbo purchases. Underwriting is stricter, reserves matter more, and the file has to be clean.

Who it fits

This loan fits you if

  • The loan you need is above your county's conforming limit
  • You have strong credit and real reserves after closing
  • Your income is documented and stable
  • You want one loan instead of splitting into two
When it applies
