(Case by Case)
The Smith Mortgage Group typically works with borrowers who:
- Meet jumbo loan credit score requirements (typically 700+ for best rates)
- Demonstrate significant income and assets, including self-employed and bank-statement income
- Maintain low debt-to-income ratios (often below 43%)
- Have substantial cash reserves (6-12 months of payments)
- Are purchasing primary residences, second homes, or investment properties
- Are comparing a jumbo loan against conventional mortgage loans or planning a custom build with one of our construction loans

While minimum requirements vary, most jumbo loans require credit scores of 700 or higher for the best rates. The Smith Mortgage Group can sometimes work with scores in the 660-680 range with strong compensating factors like substantial assets or larger down payments.
Typically 10-20% down payment is required for jumbo loans. The Smith Mortgage Group offers a 10 percent down jumbo loan option for highly qualified borrowers with strong assets and income, plus portfolio programs for loans under $2M.
Historically, jumbo rates were slightly higher than conventional rates, but this gap has narrowed significantly. The Smith Mortgage Group often secures jumbo rates that are competitive with — or even better than — our conventional mortgage loans, especially for well-qualified borrowers.
Yes! The Smith Mortgage Group offers jumbo loans for luxury investment properties and second homes. These typically require higher down payments (20-30%) and stronger financial profiles, but our investment property financing options provide flexibility for investors building high-value portfolios.
Jumbo loans typically take 30-45 days due to more extensive underwriting requirements. However, The Smith Mortgage Group's streamlined, in-house underwriting process can often close in as little as 21 days for well-prepared borrowers with straightforward financial profiles.
