A jumbo loan is a home loan that is greater than the loan limit set by the Federal National Mortgage Association (also known as Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Company (also known as Freddie Mac). Currently, the maximum value of a standard loan is $417,000 for a single home property; $533,850 for a two dwelling property; $645,300 for a three dwelling property; and $801,950 for a four unit property. Any single loan amount that exceeds those values will bump your loan into jumbo loan territory. Loans within the limits are referred to as conforming loans.

Because jumbo loans are not supported by the two listed Federal Mortgage agencies, they usually carry a higher interest rate. Other than the higher interest rate, jumbo loans are identical to a traditional, conforming loan. You can usually obtain a jumbo loan through the same channels as a conforming loan as well.

1. Visit a local bank or credit union. Go into your local branch and ask to speak with a loan specialist. Explain the loan that you need and the loan specialist will walk you through the application process.

In the interest of reaching more customers and increasing their efficiency, nearly all major financial institutions will now take your application online. Visit the site of your financial institution of choice and follow the instructions to apply for a loan.
