Your Credit: Lenders compete for borrowers who have great credit, and the better the credit score that you have, the better the interest rate that you can earn on your home loan. To obtain a jumbo or a super jumbo mortgage home loan, you may need to have a credit score of over 700.

Your Debt to Income Ratio: Borrowers are required to be making more money than they’re spending. The borrowers debt obligations in total should only account for approximately 40 percent or less of your total income. Lenders seek borrowers who can pay their monthly interest, taxes, and insurance with their income.

Your Capital: If you’re purchasing a home with a jumbo or super jumbo loan, you’ll need to have enough capital to put down a down payment. Plan on putting down around 20 percent or more of the value of the home that you’re purchasing. If you’re borrowing a larger amount, you may have to put 25 to 30 percent down on your home. Call us if you are considering less than 20%.

For loans that exceed one million dollars, lenders often request an additional appraisal of the home to ensure that the property is truly worth the value at which it’s being purchased. Since the home serves as collateral to the lender, it’s important to have a fair assessment of the home value in the event that the borrower should default on their loan.

Is there more scrutiny if i borrow more money?

Yes, since your lender is assuming more of a risk, they will be more thorough in analyzing your financial situation. Once again, for loans exceeding one million dollars, your lender may require a lower debt-to-income ratio (DTI) and higher credit score from the home buyer than a conventional loan.
