Common questions

Can I use business funds for a jumbo down payment?

Many programs allow it with documentation. Lenders commonly want proof that removing the money will not hurt the business, often through a CPA or tax preparer letter or a review of business cash flow. Moving funds into a personal account early and keeping a clear paper trail can make sourcing simpler. Ask your loan officer how they handle business assets.

How is a non-QM jumbo different from a regular jumbo?

A regular jumbo usually follows full-documentation standards, using tax returns, W-2s and detailed credit review. A non-QM jumbo sits outside the Qualified Mortgage rules so it can use bank statements, a profit-and-loss statement or assets to establish income. The lender still has to determine that you can repay. Non-QM jumbos often price higher because they carry more risk for the investor.

Will I need two appraisals?

Sometimes. Some jumbo programs require a second appraisal or a desk review above a certain loan size, and some lenders order one when the first report relies on distant or dated comparable sales. Ask at the start whether a second valuation is likely so you can plan for the time it adds and understand who pays for it.
