Advantages and Disadvantages of Private Jumbo Financing

October 20th, 2009

Private jumbo mortgages can be a great alternative to traditional jumbo mortgages. The advantages to a good no doc jumbo mortgage program is a) A lot less hassle to get, b) Virtually no documentation except for proof of the required deposit, and c) A non-invasive jumbo loan, d) None of those stringent debt ratios which could keep you from buying that dream home. The disadvantages are usually 1) A bit higher rate, and 2) Discount points. So it’s best to weigh the pluses and minuses before you apply.

On no credit check jumbo loans, there is NO credit check at all. The primary qualifier is proof of the down payment. Also for our no doc mortgage program, there is no seasoning on the down payment required.
