A typical purchase transaction will require the home-buyer to put down a minimum of 10%-20%, but in some cases as little as 5%.
Most Jumbo loan programs allow you to purchase 1-4 unit Single Family, Condo's, PUD's and Co-ops.
There are several ways to qualify for a Jumbo loan including full document (traditional qualification), bank statements (for self-employed borrowers) and asset depletion loans.
Full Documentation - This includes all standard documentation including 2 years of complete tax returns, business and personal.
Bank Statement - Qualification based on 12 or 24 months business or personal bank statements (occasionally a combination of the two). Different lenders calculate this differently, but most use total deposits that are from business revenue, then apply an expense ratio.
Asset Depletion - This method uses your existing investable assets, cash in bank accounts, stocks, bonds and other liquid assets then applies a ratio to each (i.e. cash is 100% value, stocks are 70% value), then divides the total by a term os 60 months or more to calculate your monthly income to be used for loan qualification.
