See Where Your Score Lands on Jumbo Pricing
Most jumbo programs start at 700+ — with stronger scores unlocking better rates, higher max LTV, and smoother underwriting on high-balance Indiana purchases.
Jumbo loans carry more investor risk than conforming agency products — so credit standards are tighter. A 700 middle score is a common starting point, with many investors preferring 720+ for the best terms on primary residences.
Below 700, options exist on select programs but usually require compensating factors: more down payment, higher post-close reserves, or lower DTI. Ryan and Steve map your score to current investor tiers before you commit to a purchase price.
Score minimums vary by investor, loan amount, and occupancy type.

If your score is a few points below target, these steps can help before you apply.
