"How Do Jumbo Smart Loans Work?"

Jumbo Smart loans are ideal for those who are looking for a property, and need to obtain a loan for more than $2.5 million. These larger loans are often referred to as jumbo loans.
Jumbo loans are also referred to as nonconforming loans because they’re over the limit for conventional loans. Nonconforming loans also don’t fulfill Freddie Mac’s or Fannie Mae’s purchasing standards.
The conventional loan limit in 2022 is $647,200 in most US areas. However, in several high-priced areas, the loan limit will be $970,800. It is crucial to have a look at the exact conforming loan limits in your area.
Are you in need of a loan greater than the conventional loan limit can provide? If so, a Jumbo Smart loan may be the perfect option for you.

"What Will I Need To Qualify For This Jumbo Smart Loan?"

A down payment over 10%.
A FICO® Score of 680 or better.
A DTI, or debt-to-income ratio, equal to or lower than 45%*.
Enough cash to cover the costs for closing, at around 2 – 6% of the property’s purchase price.

*You can calculate your DTI by:
1. Adding up your monthly debt payments (for example credit card and/or car payments).
2. Divide the total amount by your monthly income before taxes. You need that number to be under 45% to qualify for a Jumbo Smart Loan.

"What About The Jumbo Loan Rates, How Do They Compare To Other Kinds Of Mortgages?"

In contrast to other financing options, jumbo loans do not necessarily carry higher interest rates. Lenders base jumbo interest rates on the amount of your down payment, your credit score and various other factors.
