What are the qualifying guidelines for a jumbo home loan in El Paso County CO?
Jumbo home loans can be more difficult to obtain than conforming loans. You must first of all of good credit. Most lenders have a minimum credit score of 700, and for higher loan amounts, or higher loan-to-value ratios, your score must be above 740. Your down payment can be as low as 10%, but rates and terms improve with more down payment, generally 20%, 25%, and 30% down will get you a better deal.
If you plan to also obtain a HELOC, or 2nd mortgage, that will also count in the loan-to-value calculation. Debt-to-income ratios must also be reasonable, generally in the 41-43% maximum range. Income must be documented through tax returns and/or W2s. El Paso County Jumbo financing is also not available on investment properties- primary residences and second homes only!
