What Is a Jumbo Loan?

Above the Limit. Beyond Conventional.

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.

Jumbo Loan FAQs

What counts as a jumbo loan in Florida?

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.

I'm self-employed and write off a lot of income. Can I qualify?

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.

Can I get a jumbo HELOC without refinancing my first mortgage?

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.

Can I use a jumbo loan for a second home or investment property?

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.

Does the survey affect my credit score?

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.

Fees are deducted from funding. 500 minimum credit score; owner-occupied primary residences only. Flexible-Payment HELOC: 650 minimum credit score; primary residences only. Minimum payments may not cover all accrued interest; unpaid interest is added to the balance, resulting in a balloon payment at the end of the term or upon payoff. Minimum initial draw required. Variable rate. Not available in all states. Subject to approval and program guidelines. Traditional HELOCs require a minimum 620 credit score.
