Why jumbo is different
Because jumbo loans fall outside standard conforming limits, lenders and investors may apply distinct credit, income, asset, reserve, appraisal, and documentation rules.

JUMBO MORTGAGE
Financing for loan amounts above applicable conforming limits.
Jumbo loans serve qualified borrowers whose needed loan amount exceeds the conforming limit for the property’s location and characteristics.
Liquidity and reserves
Some programs require borrowers to document funds remaining after closing. The amount can depend on the loan, property count, occupancy, and overall risk profile.
Compare structure—not just rate
Down payment, reserves, points, term, adjustable-rate features, and documentation can materially affect the best available path.
