JUMBO LOAN

A Jumbo Renovation product is a Jumbo Mortgage Loan that can include renovations, GREEN conversions, Energy Efficiency and home rehabs. A 720 credit score or better is required, and maximum loan size is $1.5 million  Since those homes may not typically qualify for traditional financing the buyer pool is reduced and the price along with it. Even if the home doesn’t need repairs to qualify for a mortgage, renovation loans can still add massive value by opening doors to homes in a very limited inventory environment.  Structuring a Jumbo loan will require a good lender who knows the ins and outs… but it can be done if you qualify.  We can guide you to a lender that can get the job done.  Learn more – STEPS TO BUYING
