You may have a hard time finding a lender that offers a jumbo loan with a 665 scores, you may want to call a few mortgage brokers.
That's going to be tough.. typically, most lenders want to see 700 to 740 mid credit scores for most jumbo loan products.. but for you.. it's even more risky.. you would need to do a "Cash Out" refi to pay off the 2nd.. and most jumbo lenders will limit your LTV even lower when paying off a subordinated 2nd. Regardless, you should try contacting a local mortgage broker.. once they look at your complete loan profile, they might be able to advise you on how to increase your credit score to get within the acceptable range..

Assuming 80% ltv means loan to value with the first mortgage then likely you wouldneed to subordinate the second mortgage in refinancing. If you mean the combined two loans make 80% ltv then you might have an easier time with your 665 credit score. I can do jumbo loans here in CA with that credit score, however, I would want to look at the person's scenario in entirety. Contacting an experienced mortgage broker in your State is a good idea. If you have done so and they have been unable to help, try another, and another. Goodness knows the FEDS are doing everything they can to encourage checking with different mortgage brokers/bankers to make a choice. One may have the loan you need even if the other two do not.
