Jumbo Loans in Fort Lauderdale with 10% Down Payment

An oceanfront condo as a second home, a luxury estate in one of Florida’s posh neighborhoods and multi-unit investment properties are all excellent opportunities. However, financing these large projects can be difficult.

Regular conventional loans in Fort Lauderdale are not sufficient in covering the entire cost of the unit. In these cases, jumbo loans in Fort Lauderdale can provide the required financing when conventional loans can’t.

Florida State Investment Group is your local mortgage lender in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with access to various loan products including jumbo mortgages. We can offer effective financing solutions that exceed the conforming limits that bound conventional loans.

What are Jumbo Loans?

Jumbo loans in Fort Lauderdale and other Florida areas are those mortgages that surpass existing conventional loan limits. In Florida, these loans refer to those that exceed $453,100 for a single-family home and condos around the state (Monroe County $528,000).

Other than that, jumbo loans in Fort Lauderdale are available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties. Also, they are available with a variety of terms to suit individual applications.

Jumbo loans around the US are often securitized by financial institutions such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These institutions buy the bulk of United States’ residential loans from lending agencies and resell them.

Typically, jumbo loans require a low debt to income ratio, higher credit scores, and relatively larger down payments. This is due to the high value of the loan.

What are The Down Payment Options For a Jumbo Loan in Florida?

As mentioned previously, jumbo loans usually call for larger down payments. Usually, jumbo loans for primary residences, condos, and second homes come with a 10% down payment. This is considerably more than a 3% minimum down payment for a conforming or conventional loan.

What Are Other Jumbo Loan Requirements?

The requirements for qualifying for a jumbo loan in Fort Lauderdale are not unlike qualifying for other conventional mortgages. The same credit, income, and asset information is required for the loan application.

Credit Documentation. Your credit history has a big impact on your loan application. A score of 680 or above is a threshold requirement for qualification. However, this may vary. Ask your loan officer for more details.
Financial History. This includes the details of your debt-to-income ratio, which is 50% for jumbo loans. Bankruptcies, short sales, and foreclosures in the last 12 months can be considered.
Property Appraisal. This means that the purchase price for the property you’re purchasing should meet the appraisal. There might be a requirement for two appraisals for a jumbo loan.

How Do You Qualify For a Jumbo Loan in Florida?

We suggest that you talk to one of our loan officers to discuss your options and your eligibility for a jumbo loan in Fort Lauderdale and other Florida areas. However, here is how you qualify for a jumbo loan:

Pre-Qualification. Getting pre-qualified is the first step towards getting qualified for a loan. This is the first step and involves you providing your lender with financial information, including your income, assets, and debt. The lenders will undertake an evaluation process to figure out if you are eligible to receive the jumbo loan or not.
Pre-Approval. Once you’re pre-qualified, you will have to get pre-approved. This includes a complete credit history check and verification of the assets you own and the income you earn. If your case meets all the requirements, you will be granted a pre-approval letter. The letter validates your credit history and identifies you as a serious buyer interested in purchasing a property. It also qualifies you to work with most real estate agents in Florida.

Once our regular bank delayed our loan application, we became exceptionally nervous. We were in jeopardy of not only losing our new home but our deposit. We are eternally grateful that we were referred to Steve McWilliam. We had initially Googled Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Broker and he was the number one mortgage broker but we had already started the process with our local bank which was a horrible experience and mistake. We can highly recommend Steve as he delivered above and beyond what we had expected.

I worked with Betty to buy my first house here in South Florida and I could not be happier! She was amazing. She was always available to answer my questions and she was very patient. She was extremely knowledgeable, even getting me approved for a HUGE tax exemption I will receive annually . She always had all the paper work ready on time and explained everything in detail. I could not image a better agent. I'm SO glad we made the decision to work with her. Thanks Betty!

The smartest, most helpful and insightful mortgage loan person I’ve ever used. On our first attempt to buy he saved us from disaster. On our second attempt he was finished and ready to close before everyone else! Our loan was a VA so we expected it to take extra time...nope. For our next loan we won’t use anyone else.
