Can I get a jumbo loan for a second home?
Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker
Yes. Jumbo financing is available for second homes, common for higher-priced Florida vacation properties. Expect a larger down payment and reserve requirement than a primary residence.
The home must be a genuine second home, not a rental. We'll match your file to a second-home jumbo program with terms that work for a part-time residence.
