Jumbo Mortgage Financing

Exclusive portfolio lending strategies designed for Irvine’s luxury real estate market, offering flexibility where traditional big banks fall short.

Navigating High-Value Acquisitions

In neighborhoods like Shady Canyon, Turtle Rock, and Orchard Hills, the median home price immediately places buyers into Jumbo loan territory. Because Jumbo loans exceed the conforming limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), they are not backed by the government. They are held on the balance sheets of private lenders.

This means the rules are entirely different. Big banks often overlay incredibly strict requirements on Jumbo loans, leading to slow underwriting and denied files. At Irvine Mortgage Group, we utilize direct access to private portfolio lenders who use common-sense underwriting, allowing us to finance luxury homes based on your complete financial picture, not just a standard W-2.

Standard Jumbo Parameters

Credit Profile

Typically requires a FICO score of 700+, with top-tier pricing starting at 740+.

Liquid Reserves

Lenders usually require 6 to 12 months of mortgage payments held in liquid assets.

Down Payment

While 20% is standard, we have portfolio options requiring only 10% down up to $2M.

The OC Tech & Executive Advantage

Irvine is a hub for technology and corporate headquarters. If a significant portion of your income is derived from Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), standard bank algorithms will often deny your loan by failing to calculate your vesting schedule as income. Our portfolio lenders specifically understand and calculate RSU income, bonuses, and complex K-1 business structures, allowing tech executives and business owners to maximize their purchasing power.

Specialized Jumbo Strategies

Asset Depletion Loans

Ideal for retirees or high-net-worth individuals with low W-2 income. We calculate your qualifying income by dividing your total liquid assets (stocks, bonds, retirement accounts) over a set term, allowing your wealth to secure the loan.

Bank Statement Programs

Designed for Orange County entrepreneurs and self-employed buyers. Instead of using highly-deducted tax returns that suppress your true earning power, we qualify you based on 12 to 24 months of personal or business bank deposits.

10% Down Jumbo

Leverage your capital elsewhere. We offer specialized portfolio products that allow you to purchase homes up to $2,000,000 with only a 10% down payment and no Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
