Jumbo Loans: The Financing Solution for Luxury Homes
Flexible, High-Value Mortgages for High-Cost Homes
Financing for High-Cost Homes
Jumbo loans are a type of mortgage designed for homebuyers who need to borrow more than the conforming loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). In many areas of California, particularly in high-cost regions like the San Francisco Bay Area, jumbo loans are necessary to finance luxury homes or expensive properties. Lender Capital Group specializes in providing jumbo loans that cater to the unique needs of high-income borrowers, offering competitive rates and flexible terms.
Unlike conventional loans, jumbo loans are not backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, which means they often have stricter qualification requirements. However, for those who qualify, jumbo loans provide the flexibility to finance the purchase of larger, high-value properties.

Why Choose a Jumbo Loan?
Higher Loan Amounts
Jumbo loans allow you to borrow more than the conforming loan limits. In California, this means you can borrow over $726,200 (or more in high-cost areas like San Francisco), making it possible to finance luxury homes.
No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) Properties
Despite the larger loan amount, jumbo loans do not require private mortgage insurance (PMI), which can help reduce your monthly mortgage payments.
Competitive Interest Rates
At Lender Capital Group, we offer competitive interest rates for qualified borrowers, ensuring that you get the best possible deal on your high-value property.
Flexible Loan Terms
We offer a variety of loan terms for jumbo loans, including both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), allowing you to choose the option that best suits your financial needs and long-term goals.
Customizable for Investment Properties
Jumbo loans are not just for primary residences—they can also be used to finance vacation homes, investment properties, and multi-family units.
Jumbo Loan Qualifications
Jumbo loans typically have stricter qualification requirements than conventional loans due to the larger loan amounts involved. Here are some of the key qualifications you’ll need to meet:
Cash Reserves
You may be required to show proof of cash reserves to cover several months' worth of mortgage payments, demonstrating your ability to handle the higher payments associated with a jumbo loan.
Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio
Most lenders prefer a DTI ratio of 43% or lower for jumbo loans. This ensures that you have enough income to comfortably cover the mortgage payments.
Credit Score
A minimum credit score of 700 is typically required, though some lenders may require a higher score depending on the loan amount.
Down Payment
A down payment of 10% to 20% is generally required for jumbo loans, though this can vary based on your financial profile and loan amount.
Income Documentation
Jumbo loans often require more extensive income documentation, including tax returns, bank statements, and proof of assets, to ensure that you have the financial means to repay the loan.
Jumbo Loan Process: What to Expect
01.
Pre-Approval
The first step in securing a jumbo loan is getting pre-approved. Our team will review your financials, including your credit score, income, and assets, to determine how much you qualify to borrow. Pre-approval gives you a clear understanding of your budget before you start shopping for homes.
02.
Home Search
With your pre-approval in hand, you can confidently begin your search for high-value homes that fall within your loan range.
03.
Application and Documentation
Once you find the perfect property, we’ll submit your loan application and begin collecting the necessary documentation, including income verification, tax returns, and proof of assets.
04.
Appraisal
Jumbo loans require a property appraisal to ensure that the home's value aligns with the loan amount. This protects both you and the lender by confirming that you are not overpaying for the property.
05.
Underwriting and Approval
The underwriting process for jumbo loans is typically more rigorous than conventional loans due to the larger loan amounts involved. Our team will work with the lender to ensure that your loan is processed as efficiently as possible.
06.
Closing
Once the loan is approved, you’ll move forward with closing on your new home. Jumbo loans often have similar closing costs to conventional loans, though you may need to provide a larger down payment at this stage.
