Ensuring You Qualify:
Jumbo mortgage loans have the capacity to create bad economic conditions if borrowers default on their payments due to their larger size. Mortgage companies now only give jumbo loans to buyers who have just the right credentials. At present, you need to satisfy a few important requirements if you are looking to get a jumbo loan in Salt Lake City:
- For most jumbo mortgage loans, an average credit score of 700 is needed to get the approval, but this value should be used as a guide as requirements can/do change based on the down payment. Example: Buyers financing 95% will need a min 700 credit score. Buyers financing 80% can often times get approved with only a 660 score.
- You have to completely document your income and assets. Generally, two years of tax returns will be required.
- The monthly mortgage payment (with taxes, home insurance, etc.) should not be greater than 38% of your documented monthly income. Please see our helpful mortgage calculators here to calculate payments.
- Depending on the loan to value and down payment (5% down, 10%, 15%, 20%, etc) you will need to show adequate payment reserves. These are normally explained in terms of monthly payments. Most lenders ask for asset reserves of 3–6 months, which mean that borrowers have to show the financial capacity to be able to pay that many monthly installments of the mortgage either through cash reserves or retirements accounts.
- Borrowers must be U.S. citizens
