The first thing home buyers should recognize is the primary difference between a conforming loan and a Jumbo loan. Simply put, a conforming mortgage is one that “conforms” to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines that most banks and lenders follow. This basically pertains to the loan amount limit, which is set to $647,200 for all of Bexar County and the entire state of Texas in 2022. Any loan amount that exceeds this would be considered a “Jumbo” mortgage.
The approval process for Jumbo loans works pretty much the same as conventional loans. Buyers need to provide proper documentation as it relates to income, assets, etc. Buyers need to demonstrate a stable employment history, have debt within the allowable limits, etc.
