Jumbo Loans for Coastal Orange County
A jumbo loan is any mortgage above the conforming loan limit — which in a market like Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, or Irvine describes most of the housing stock. Cris structures jumbo financing for W-2 executives, business owners, and Veterans (yes, VA jumbo with $0 down exists).

Jumbo is a different game
Above the conforming limit, every lender writes its own rules: reserve requirements, credit tiers, property types, second homes. Pricing between two jumbo lenders on the same file can differ dramatically. As a broker, Cris shops your file across multiple jumbo investors instead of forcing it into one bank's box.
For self-employed buyers, jumbo + bank statement programs combine — a common Newport Beach scenario that most retail lenders simply can't do.

- ✓ Bank statement jumbo for entrepreneurs

Jumbo Loans — Questions We Get Every Week
+What counts as a jumbo loan in Orange County?
Any loan above the conforming limit for Orange County (a high-cost county with elevated limits that adjust annually). We'll tell you the current line and whether structuring your down payment differently could keep you conforming for a better rate.
+Can Veterans really get a jumbo loan with no down payment?
Yes. With full VA entitlement there is no VA loan limit, so qualified Veterans can finance seven-figure Orange County homes with $0 down. Lender overlays vary, which is exactly why a VA-specialist broker matters at this price point.
