Jumbo loan in NJ with 5 percent down?

Hello, I am looking for a house in Northern NJ in the 700K range. I have an annual income of $200K and a credit score around 770. Is it possible to get a conventional mortgage with only 5-8 percent down? Or am I locked into FHA? by Bperillous from Hillsborough, New Jersey. Mar 8th 2013 Reply

The maximum conforming loan limit for your county for a single family home is $625K.. so if you keep you loan balance at that or less, you can go conforming, and the rates will be better than a jumbo.. if you have to go jumbo, you won't find a 5% down.. The very least is 10% and even that might be tough to find.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

Hello BperillousThe challenge on obtaining the conventional mortgage would be obatining MI (mortgage insurance). Generally there are 2 ways to pay the MI; monthly or 1 lump sum at closing). There are seperate guidleines for obtaining the MI. On a jumbo loan (loan amount above 417K) the guidleines are more strcit than a loan amount lower than 417K. I would be happy to look into this and see if they are options for you if you'd like? Brian DiVito Sr Loan Consultant908-233-3383 X5007NMLS#274474www.briandivito.com

FHA jumbo at today's rates may be a bargain, compared with rates 5 to 10 years ago. Buying now, near the bottom of the market cycle may still be a smart move.
