— ABOUT PRIMEJUMBO

What Is the
PrimeJumbo™ Loan?

PrimeJumbo™ is Pacific Home Loans’ prime-tier jumbo mortgage – a full-documentation loan designed for well-qualified buyers financing luxury and high-value real estate above applicable conforming loan limits. It is the first program we consider for every high-value transaction because it typically offers the best available pricing for borrowers whose income documentation, credit profile, and reserve position qualify at the prime tier.

A jumbo loan is any mortgage with a loan amount exceeding the conforming loan limits established annually by the Federal Housing Finance Agency for the subject property’s county. In the high-cost and luxury markets Pacific Home Loans serves – Hawaii’s resort communities, California’s coastal markets, Colorado’s mountain counties, and destination markets across all licensed states – jumbo financing is a routine component of the purchase and refinance landscape.

PrimeJumbo™ is available for primary residences, second homes, and eligible investment properties, in both fully amortizing and interest-only ARM structures, on loan amounts up to $10,000,000.

— PROGRAM STRUCTURES

Two PrimeJumbo™
Structures

PrimeJumbo™ is available in two distinct payment structures, each designed for a specific borrower profile and hold strategy. Both structures are available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties on loan amounts up to $10,000,000.

Program A – PrimeJumbo™ Amortizing

The fully amortizing structure applies principal and interest payments from day one, building equity on a defined schedule throughout the loan term. It is appropriate for buyers who prioritize long-term equity accumulation, payment predictability, and straightforward loan structure.

Available Terms
Fixed rate: 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30-year terms
Adjustable rate: 5/6, 7/6, and 10/6 SOFR ARM structures

Loan Amounts
Up to $10,000,000, subject to underwriting approval and applicable LTV requirements.

Occupancy
Primary residences, second homes, and investment properties.

  • Fixed-rate loans qualify at the note rate
  • 5/6 ARM qualifies at the higher of the note rate plus 2% or the fully indexed rate
  • 7/6 and 10/6 ARMs qualify at the note rate (non-HPML)
  • ARM index: 30-day average SOFR with a margin of 2.75%
  • Maximum DTI up to 43% at qualifying LTV tiers
  • Primary & Second Home Max LTV 85% Loans up to $5,000,000
  • Primary & Second Home Max LTV 60% Loans $5,000,000-$10,000,000
  • Investment Max LTV 80% Loans up to $2,500,000
  • Investment Max LTV 50% Loans $2,500,000-$10,000,000

Figures represent program highlights only. Maximum LTV, credit, and reserve requirements depend on the full transaction profile and final underwriting.

Additional Program Notes

  • Reserves scale with loan amount and occupancy type
  • Gift funds are permitted on second home purchases – an own-funds minimum may apply
  • Fixed and ARM structures are priced independently
  • Available across the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii

Program B – PrimeJumbo™ Interest-Only ARM

The interest-only ARM structure provides ten years of interest-only payments followed by twenty years of fully amortizing principal and interest payments. Borrowers qualify on the fully amortizing payment over the 20-year amortization period, satisfying ability-to-repay requirements. This structure reduces required monthly cash outlay during the initial period and provides payment flexibility for cash-flow-focused buyers and investors managing higher-value assets.

Available Terms

  • 5/6, 7/6, and 10/6 SOFR ARM – 30-year total term (10 years interest-only/20 years fully amortizing)

Loan Amounts
From one dollar above the applicable conforming limit up to $10,000,000, subject to underwriting approval and applicable LTV requirements.

Occupancy
Primary residences, second homes, and investment properties.

  • Qualifies on the fully amortizing PITI payment over a 20-year term
  • 5/6 ARM: higher of the note rate plus 2% or the fully indexed rate
  • 7/6 and 10/6 ARMs: higher of the fully indexed rate or the note rate
  • ARM index: 30-day average SOFR with a margin of 2.75%
  • Maximum DTI up to 43% at qualifying LTV tiers
  • Primary & Second Home Max LTV 75% Loans up to $5,000,000
  • Primary & Second Home Max LTV 55% Loans $5,000,000-$10,000,000
  • Investment Max LTV 50% Loans up to $2,500,000
  • Investment Max LTV 40% Loans $2,500,000-$10,000,000

Cash-out refinance is not available on investment properties under Program B.

Additional Program Notes

  • Qualifies on the fully amortizing PITI – the interest-only period does not reduce the qualifying standard
  • Principal curtailments are permitted during the interest-only period
  • Reserve requirements of 24 months or more are common at higher loan balances
  • The monthly payment adjusts after both the fixed rate period and the interest-only period have ended – borrowers should evaluate their payment exposure at both transition points

Interest-only ARM structures carry payment adjustment risk after the fixed and interest-only periods expire. All figures are program highlights subject to underwriting review and investor approval.

— BORROWER PROFILE

Who PrimeJumbo™
Is Designed For

PrimeJumbo™ is structured for well-qualified buyers who present full income documentation, strong credit profiles, and adequate reserves – and who are financing luxury or high-value real estate above conforming loan limits.

The program is most commonly applied for the following borrower and transaction profiles:

  • Buyers of luxury primary residences in high-cost markets where loan amounts routinely exceed conforming limits
  • Second home and vacation property purchasers in resort communities, coastal markets, and mountain destinations
  • Investment property buyers with strong credit, documented income, and substantial reserve positions
  • Borrowers with W-2, salary, or other fully documentable income who qualify at the prime documentation tier
  • Buyers requiring loan amounts above conforming limits up to $10,000,000
  • Cash-flow-focused buyers and investors for whom the interest-only ARM structure’s reduced initial payment serves a defined financial strategy

PrimeJumbo™ is not the appropriate program for borrowers whose income is primarily self-employed, commission-based, or non-traditional in a way that limits full documentation. For those profiles, Non-QM programs provide structured alternative qualification methodologies.

— RATE AND STRUCTURE CONSIDERATIONS

Selecting the Appropriate
PrimeJumbo™ Structure

The choice between the amortizing and interest-only structures is determined by the borrower’s cash flow objectives, hold strategy, and financial planning priorities.
The Amortizing Structure Is Generally Appropriate When:

  • The borrower’s priority is equity accumulation from day one and payment simplicity over the full loan term
  • The property is a primary residence and long-term payment predictability is a primary objective
  • The borrower intends to hold the property for an extended period without a defined exit or refinance timeline
  • The investment return strategy does not require optimizing monthly cash flow during the initial loan period

The Interest-Only ARM Structure May Be Appropriate When:

  • The borrower has a defined holding period or refinance plan that falls within or near the initial fixed and interest-only period
  • Optimizing monthly cash flow during the initial period serves a specific financial planning objective – capital deployment, investment allocation, or debt management
  • The property is a second home or investment property where cash-flow efficiency during the hold period is a primary consideration
  • The borrower understands and has evaluated the payment adjustment that will occur when both the fixed rate period and the interest-only period expire

Evaluation of both structures – including the payment at each transition point under the interest-only ARM – is a standard component of the PrimeJumbo pre-approval consultation.

— WHEN PRIMEJUMBO™ ISN’T THE FIT

When a Different Program
Is More Appropriate

PrimeJumbo is the first program we consider for high-value transactions, but it is not the right fit for every scenario. When the transaction requires more flexibility than the prime tier can accommodate, Pacific Home Loans has a full ladder of programs to evaluate.

Non-QM Jumbo
For borrowers whose income is self-employed, commission-based, investor-driven, or otherwise non-traditional, Non-QM jumbo programs provide structured alternative documentation qualification — including bank statement analysis, DSCR investment property qualification, asset-based lending, and 1099 income programs – at jumbo loan amounts.
Non-QM Mortgage Programs

Portfolio Jumbo – Up to $30,000,000
For transactions requiring loan amounts above $10,000,000, advanced structuring flexibility, pledged asset strategies, cross-collateralization, or qualification approaches that no investor program can accommodate, portfolio lending provides in-house capital at the highest available loan amounts.

Private Money and Bridge Financing
For time-sensitive acquisitions, renovation projects prior to permanent financing, or transitional scenarios requiring rapid execution, private money provides short-term asset-backed capital structured around a defined exit into permanent financing.

— COMMON QUESTIONS

PrimeJumbo™ Loans
FAQ

Have a question not answered here? Our team is available to walk through your specific scenario.

PrimeJumbo™ is Pacific Home Loans’ prime-tier jumbo mortgage – the best-priced, cleanest execution available for well-qualified borrowers financing above conforming loan limits. It differs from the broader category of jumbo loans in that it is specifically structured for borrowers with full income documentation, strong credit profiles, and adequate reserves who qualify at the prime tier. Borrowers who do not qualify at the prime tier have access to Non-QM and portfolio programs through the same platform – but PrimeJumbo is where every high-value transaction begins.
A jumbo loan is any mortgage with a loan amount exceeding the conforming loan limit for the subject property’s county, as established annually by the FHFA. Limits vary by county and are higher in designated high-cost areas. In standard-cost counties, the 2026 baseline conforming limit for a single-family property is $832,750. Any loan amount above the applicable county limit requires jumbo underwriting. PrimeJumbo™ accommodates loan amounts from one dollar above the applicable limit up to $10,000,000.
The amortizing structure applies principal and interest payments from day one, building equity on a defined schedule. The interest-only ARM applies interest-only payments for the first ten years, then converts to a fully amortizing payment over the remaining twenty-year term – reducing required monthly cash outlay during the initial period while the borrower qualifies on the eventual fully amortizing payment. The interest-only structure introduces payment adjustment risk at two points: when the fixed rate period ends and the rate becomes adjustable, and when the interest-only period ends and principal payments begin. Both transition points should be evaluated before selecting this structure.
Minimum credit requirements vary by program, LTV tier, and occupancy type. Representative minimums begin at 680 and increase to 740 for the highest-leverage tiers. Jumbo credit review is more detailed than conforming underwriting – the full credit profile, not only the score, is evaluated during underwriting. The applicable minimum for a specific transaction is confirmed during the pre-approval process.That depends on how income is earned and documented. Bank Statement Loans, 1099 Loans, and Asset-Based Loans are among the most common financing solutions used by self-employed borrowers.
Down payment requirements vary by occupancy type, loan amount, and credit tier. Well-qualified second home buyers at the highest credit tier may access LTV ratios up to 85% – a 15% down payment – at loan amounts up to $5,000,000. Investment properties and higher loan amounts carry more conservative LTV requirements. The specific down payment applicable to a transaction is determined through the pre-approval analysis and the parameter tables published above.

Yes. Both the amortizing and interest-only structures are available for eligible investment properties, with maximum LTV and credit requirements that differ from primary residence and second home tiers. Cash-out refinance is not available on investment properties under the interest-only ARM structure. Reserve requirements at investment property loan amounts are typically more substantial than at owner-occupied tiers.

Non-qualification for PrimeJumbo does not mean non-qualification for jumbo financing. Pacific Home Loans maintains a full platform of Non-QM and portfolio jumbo programs specifically for borrowers whose income structure, credit profile, or transaction characteristics fall outside the prime tier. Non-QM jumbo accommodates self-employed, investor, and high-net-worth borrowers through alternative documentation methodologies. Portfolio lending accommodates the highest loan amounts and the most complex structuring requirements. The appropriate alternative is identified through individual transaction review.

Reserve requirements scale with loan amount, occupancy type, and the specific LTV tier. At higher loan balances – particularly under the interest-only ARM structure – reserves of 24 months or more are common. The applicable reserve requirement is confirmed during the pre-approval process and is a standard component of the jumbo qualification analysis.
