Second Home
Yes — vacation homes and second residences above conforming limits are a core jumbo use case. Occupancy, down payment, and reserves decide which investors say yes.
Lenders expect you to occupy the property for personal use a reasonable portion of the year. It should be suitable as a residence, typically a reasonable distance from your primary home, and not operated primarily as a rental.
If short-term rental income is the main plan, underwriters may reclassify the file as investment — which usually means more down payment, stronger credit, and different pricing. We clarify occupancy before you write the offer.
Occupancy definitions vary by investor and are subject to change.
Second-home jumbo files are about capacity across two properties.
