Get a Smaller Payment on Your Jumbo Loan

Get a Smaller Payment on Your Jumbo Loan

Jumbo loans are mortgages for amounts above the federally-mandated conventional loan limit. Currently, the jumbo loan limit is $417,000. However, Congress has approved changes that may get you a lower rate on some jumbo loans.

Jumbo loans are much more flexible than most people think. Here's how a jumbo loan can help you afford your home in that high-cost area:

You don't always need a 20% down payment. Based on your home, the market, and your finances, you can refinance your jumbo loan with less than 80% equity. Or, buy a home in a competitive market with as little as 10% down.

Jumbo loans can either be fixed-rate, or have a mortgage rate that adjusts after a fixed period. An adjustable-rate mortgage can get you a smaller monthly payment. A fixed-rate mortgage can give you secure, fixed payments year after year.

On both the fixed-rate and adjustable-rate jumbo loans, Quicken Loans offers an interest-only payment option. This means you have the choice of paying the interest plus as much of the principal amount as you like each month.
