Buying, refinancing or tapping equity on a home above the conforming limit? Answer a few quick questions and we'll shop your scenario across conventional and Non-QM jumbo lenders: full-doc, bank statement, asset-based and DSCR.
*2nd mortgages are available, but are subject to LTV and guideline restrictions.
A jumbo loan is any mortgage above the conforming loan limit set each year by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). For 2026, the baseline limit is $832,750 in most U.S. counties, and up to $1,249,125 in designated high-cost areas. Anything above your county's limit needs jumbo financing.
Because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can't buy these loans, each lender sets its own guidelines. That's exactly why a broker matters: the right lender for a W-2 physician is rarely the right lender for a business owner, a retiree living on assets or an investor buying a short-term rental.
Mortgage Houz LLC shops all three categories for you: conventional full-doc jumbo, Non-QM bank statement and asset jumbo, and jumbo DSCR for investors.

We match your borrower profile to the right jumbo category, whether you're a W-2 earner, a self-employed business owner or a real estate investor.
Jumbo files carry more documentation than conforming loans. Here's what each program typically asks for.
| Item | Full-Doc Jumbo | Bank Statement / Asset Jumbo | Jumbo DSCR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income | W-2s, tax returns, pay stubs | 12–24 months bank statements or asset statements | None: property rent qualifies |
| Assets | Recent bank & investment statements | Statements for reserves and funds to close | Funds to close + reserves |
| Business | Not required | CPA letter or business license | LLC operating agreement (if vesting in entity) |
| Property | Contract or title, appraisal, insurance | Contract or title, appraisal, insurance | Appraisal with rent schedule, lease or STR history |
| Best for | Salaried professionals | Business owners, retirees, high net worth | Real estate investors |

A jumbo loan is any mortgage above the conforming loan limit for the county where the home is located. For 2026, the FHFA baseline limit is $832,750 in most U.S. counties, with higher limits (up to $1,249,125) in designated high-cost areas. If your loan amount is above the county limit, it's a jumbo loan. We confirm the exact limit for your file using the FHFA county table.
Yes. Bank statement jumbo programs use 12 to 24 months of business or personal deposits to calculate income instead of your tax returns, so your real cash flow counts, not your taxable income.
Often, yes. A HELOC on a high-value home lets you access equity while keeping your current first mortgage in place. HELOCs require a minimum 620 credit score. 2nd mortgages are also available, but are subject to LTV and guideline restrictions. Availability, line amounts and qualifying rules vary by lender, so we compare several for your scenario.
Yes. Jumbo financing is available for primary residences, second homes and investment properties. If the home will be rented, a jumbo DSCR loan qualifies on the property's rent instead of your personal income.
No. The survey does not pull your credit. A licensed loan officer reviews your answers first, and your credit is only checked with your permission if you decide to move forward.
