Jumbo loans require thorough documentation. We review your income, assets, reserves, and credit to match you with lenders whose guidelines fit your profile. Self-employed borrowers and those with complex income need a lender experienced with non-standard documentation.
We compare jumbo rates and terms from multiple portfolio lenders and correspondent lenders. Jumbo pricing varies more between lenders than conforming loans, so shopping is especially valuable at this price point.
High-value properties often require a full appraisal by an appraiser experienced with luxury homes. We ensure the appraiser has comparable sales data that supports your purchase price, and manage the underwriting process to a smooth close.

Conforming loan limits are set annually by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. In most Utah counties, the limit for a single-family home is updated each year. Properties priced above this limit require jumbo financing. We can confirm the current limit for your county and help you determine whether conforming or jumbo financing is the right path. Some high-cost areas may have higher conforming limits.
Jumbo loans typically require a minimum credit score of 700–720, a down payment of 10–20% (some lenders offer 10% down with strong reserves), 6–12 months of reserves after closing, and a debt-to-income ratio below 43%. Requirements vary by lender, portfolio lenders often have more flexibility on income documentation and reserve requirements.
Not necessarily. The spread between jumbo and conforming pricing changes. Compare Loan Estimates. We will not publish a promised spread such as 0.125–0.25%.
Yes, but expect stricter requirements. Investment property jumbo loans typically require 25–30% down, credit scores of 720+, and 12 months of reserves. Rental income from the subject property may be used to qualify if supported by a lease or comparable rent analysis. We work with lenders experienced in investor jumbo financing.
Unfurnished is standard for 12-month leases. Furnished can work for short-term corporate rentals near downtown/hospitals.
