Buying high-value real estate in Kentucky or Florida sometimes means borrowing above the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac conventional conforming loan limits.
For borrowers looking to borrow outside those limits, we offer jumbo mortgages in Louisville and throughout Kentucky, Florida, Colorado, Indiana and Tennessee.
What is a Jumbo Mortgage?
A jumbo mortgage is a type of conventional loan, which means that it is not guaranteed by a government agency like FHA or VA.
It is sometimes called a “non-conforming” loan, because it does not conform to the loan limits for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

We are also licensed to work with customers in Tennessee, Indiana and Colorado.

How to Qualify for a Jumbo Loan in
Louisville, Cape Coral or Beyond
The application processes for jumbo loans and conforming loans are much alike. But because you are borrowing a higher sum with a jumbo mortgage, you will need more competitive qualifications.
We will look at:
- Your credit score.
- Your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio.
- Your down payment ability.
- Your cash reserves.
- Your employment status.
You should have at least six months of cash reserves, and you should be able to make a minimum down payment of 15%. You might need two appraisals.
Applying for a jumbo loan does not need to be difficult, nor does qualifying.
In fact, even first time homebuyers can purchase homes with non-conforming loans. We are here to make sure that the process is as fast and easy as possible no matter your situation.
