Jumbo Loans
Jumbo loans are mortgages that exceed the conforming loan limits established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, making them too large to be purchased by government-sponsored enterprises.
A jumbo loan is simply one that exceeds the conforming limit, which means Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not buy it. So the investor holding the loan sets the rules, and those rules are stricter: deeper reserves, fuller documentation, and closer scrutiny of how your income and assets actually work.
That strictness varies enormously between investors, which is where a broker earns their place. Two lenders can look at the same self-employed borrower with substantial assets and reach very different conclusions. Placing the file with the one whose guidelines fit your particular shape matters more on a jumbo than on almost any other loan.
Because North Texas prices have moved, jumbo territory now includes plenty of ordinary family homes rather than only luxury property. If your purchase sits near the limit, it is worth checking which side of it you fall on before assuming anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Jumbo Loan program?

What makes a loan “jumbo”?
Any loan above the conforming limit set annually by the Federal Housing Finance Agency for your county. In the DFW market, plenty of neighborhoods routinely price above that line — which is exactly what jumbo financing is for.
Is it harder to qualify for a jumbo loan?
The review is more thorough — larger loans mean lenders look closer at credit, assets, and reserves. Well-prepared borrowers move through smoothly, and we prepare every file like it will be scrutinized, because it will.
Do jumbo loans work for self-employed borrowers?
Yes. And when tax returns understate real income, a bank statement jumbo program can bridge the gap. High-earning entrepreneurs are some of our most common jumbo clients.
Can I get a jumbo loan on an investment property?
Yes — including DSCR jumbo structures that qualify on the property’s rental income. Luxury short-term rentals and high-value long-term holds both fit this category.
