Mortgage Loan Programs and Eligibility Requirements
A comparison of available loan programs - conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo, HELOC and specialty financing - with the credit, down payment and property rules that decide which one fits.
Because jumbo loans are larger, lenders look more closely at credit, reserves, and income — strong documentation is the key to a smooth approval.
Benefits of a jumbo loan
Finance amounts above conforming loan limits in a single mortgage
Fixed and adjustable-rate options
Competitive rates for well-qualified borrowers
Available for primary residences and second homes
What to consider
Higher credit score and cash-reserve requirements
Larger down payments are typical (often 10–20%)
Full income and asset documentation is required
