Rates on Jumbo loans are typically higher than conventional conforming loans, but they allow borrowers to buy or refinance more expensive, higher-end homes. Most Jumbo loans also require a higher down payment than traditional loans but Luminate Michigan has a multitude of loan options with the potential of purchasing with as little as 5% down!

Advantages of Jumbo Loans

The primary advantage of a Jumbo Mortgage is being able to finance more than the county loan limits set by Conventional, FHA, or other loan programs. Also Jumbo loans don’t typically have mortgage insurance requirements, so you may be eligible to purchase or refinance with as little as 5% down without mortgage insurance. Granted you will pay a higher premium rate with a lower down payment, you may be able to borrower enough to purchase or refinance that dream home if you qualify for one of our available Jumbo loans!

Requirements for Jumbo Loans

Jumbo loans typically require better credit scores and a larger down payment. Although standard down payments for Jumbo loans are usually 20-25%, Luminate Michigan offers competitive programs with as little as 5% down if you qualify. Credit standards are higher on Jumbo loans, usually needing 700 or higher credit scores. There may be options down to a 640 credit score with a higher down payments, but keep in mind that interest rates will be much higher with lower credit scores and low down payments.
