A jumbo mortgage loan is a loan whose amount exceeds the borrowing limit set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for conforming loans. The current limit in Georgia is $806,500 for a single-family unit. So if you take a mortgage with an amount that exceeds that set limit you will have taken a jumbo mortgage.

Rate Terms Explained
What are Mortgage Points?
Mortgage points, often called discount points, are optional fees that a homebuyer pays at closing in exchange for a reduced interest rate on their mortgage. This process is commonly referred to as "buying down the rate" or a "rate buydown.
What are Lender Credits?
Lender credits are a feature in mortgage financing where the lender agrees to cover some your closing costs in exchange for you accepting a higher interest rate on your loan. This arrangement can make it easier for buyers to afford the upfront costs of purchasing a home.
What is APR?
APR, or annual percentage rate, is a measure of the total yearly cost of borrowing money through a mortgage. Unlike the regular interest rate, which is just the cost of borrowing the principal, the APR incorporates both the interest rate and many of the fees and costs associated with getting your loan.

Jumbo loans are necessary for many reasons, but the biggest advantage to you as a homebuyer is that they allow you to make high-cost home purchases. It is practically impossible to finance some types of homes in certain Georgia counties. A good example is Atkinson County where the average list price is around $1,683,400. It is the highest by far but there are other counties like Fulton, Rabun, and Greene that also have very high listing prices.
The high value of a Georgia jumbo loan makes it riskier from the perspective of the lender. That is why you may face stringent qualification requirements compared to when you are applying for a conforming or government loan. For instance, 20% down payment is a common requirement, but some Georgia lenders can go as low as 10% or 15% as long as you have sufficient income and assets. Another common requirement is a FICO score of at least 680.
There is a special program for interest only jumbo loans as well. This unique mortgage program is specifically tailored for high-value properties, allowing borrowers to make interest-only payments for the first 10 years before transitioning to principal and interest payments for the remaining 30 years. The result? Lower initial monthly payments make homeownership more accessible for those looking at larger, more expensive properties.
The stringent qualification standards don’t necessarily mean you can’t qualify for a Georgia jumbo loan with ease. If you have a good real estate company behind you, the whole process becomes much easier. In case you need help with your jumbo mortgage loan don’t look any further than Moreira Team.
