Jumbo Loan PMI
Most jumbo loans skip traditional PMI. Risk is priced through rate and LTV instead — which changes how Indiana buyers compare monthly cost to conforming loans.
Conforming loans often require PMI below 20% down because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines call for it. Jumbo loans sit outside those agencies — private investors set their own rules and typically bake LTV risk into pricing instead of a separate insurance premium.
That does not mean less-than-20% down is free. You may see a higher note rate or lender fees at 90% LTV compared with 80% LTV. The cost shows up differently — not as a PMI line item.
Product features vary by investor and are subject to change.
The better deal depends on loan amount, down payment, and how long you keep the mortgage.
Clear numbers — not assumptions about PMI.
• Whether your jumbo program includes any mortgage insurance
• Rate and fee difference between 10%, 15%, and 20% down
• Side-by-side conforming + PMI vs. jumbo without PMI when both are possible
• Break-even timing if PMI cancellation is part of a conforming strategy
