Jumbo Financing Without Traditional Lending Limitations

While 20% down eliminates Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), many competitive loan programs require far less. Conventional loans often allow as little as 3% down for qualified buyers, FHA loans start at 3.5%, and VA or USDA loans offer 0% down payment options for eligible borrowers.

A fixed-rate mortgage locks in the same interest rate and monthly principal and interest payment for the entire term (e.g., 15 or 30 years), offering stability. An ARM provides a lower initial rate for an introductory period (such as 5, 7, or 10 years), making it ideal if you plan to sell or refinance before the rate adjusts.

Higher credit scores (740+) unlock lower interest rates and lower PMI premiums, saving tens of thousands over the life of a loan. Borrowers with scores in the 620 to 680 range still have access to conventional and government-backed programs, and our advisors can provide tailored strategies to optimize your score before closing.

Closing costs cover lender origination fees, appraisal, title search, insurance, recording fees, and initial escrow reserves. They typically range from 2% to 5% of the total loan balance. We provide a full Loan Estimate document upfront so you encounter zero surprise fees at closing.
