Question: L. Keaton – San Antonio, TX: What jumbo financing option will make the most sense for me? the single loan or combo loan option?
Answer: The correct loan structure will depend on many different factors like loan amount, property state, down payment, and credit profile. There can be pros and cons to each option. For instance – the combo loan option is good because the first mortgage can be at the maximum conforming loan limit for your county.
This is favorable because the conventional mortgage interest rates are typically less when compared to Jumbo rates. However, one of the advantages of a single loan structure is that there is only one loan, and lower overall closing costs because of that. Please contact us to discuss your situation in detail.
