Loan limit: the jumbo loan limit for most counties in Maryland is $766,550. In Calvert, Charles, Frederick, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties the limit is much higher at $1,089,300.
Down payment: most lenders usually ask for 20% down, but you can still get a loan with as little as 10% down, particularly for the purchase of a residential property.
Mortgage insurance: lenders usually require borrowers to pay monthly mortgage insurance. But you can reduce the premium significantly by increasing the down payment.
Qualification: qualification standards for jumbo loans are not all that stringent. With a 680 credit score, 43% debt-to-income ratio, and proof of consistent income, you will almost certainly qualify for a jumbo mortgage.
