The Short Answer

What is a jumbo cash-out and unique property loan?

A jumbo cash-out and unique property loan is a portfolio mortgage for large loan amounts, property types, and borrower situations that standard jumbo guidelines don't handle. Many programs lend up to $5 million, allow unlimited cash in hand on a cash-out refinance, and accept homes on acreage, hobby farms, mixed-use properties, and homes already listed for sale.

The Process

How Jumbo Cash-Out & Unique Property Loans Work in Practice

  1. 1

    We size the cash-out

    Many programs allow cash-out up to 80% LTV and up to $5 million with no cap on cash in hand, on primary residences, second homes, and investment properties, including 2–4 unit buildings.

  2. 2

    We look at the property, not just the box

    Unique and large-acreage properties, hobby farms, mixed-use buildings, and properties with unpermitted additions or deed restrictions are considered, usually at reduced LTVs. There is no acreage limit on some programs.

  3. 3

    We apply flexible income rules

    A one-year self-employed or one-year tax return program is available on many portfolio products. One-time expenses, one-time losses, and carry-forward losses can sometimes be removed from the income calculation.

  4. 4

    We connect cash-out to reserves and income

    Cash-out proceeds can be used to satisfy reserves and, on some programs, to calculate asset depletion income — a possible alternative to a reverse mortgage for borrowers who need qualifying income.

Use Cases

San Luis Obispo County scenarios this solves

Cash-out on a Templeton or Paso Robles property with acreage

A property with acreage or agricultural use doesn't fit a standard appraisal box. Portfolio guidelines can accommodate it at a reduced LTV.

Mixed-use or live/work building

Properties with a commercial component are often declined by conventional lenders and may be financed on a portfolio program.

Large cash-out for a business or investment

An owner who needs a large equity withdrawal can access cash without a cap, up to program LTV.

Listed-for-sale cash-out

Some programs allow cash-out on a home that is currently listed for sale, which many lenders prohibit.

Common Questions

Jumbo cash-out FAQs

Many portfolio programs have no cap on cash in hand, though overall loan amount (up to $5,000,000) and LTV (up to 80%) still limit what you can borrow.

Often yes. Some programs have no acreage limit and will consider agricultural or other zoning restrictions, typically at reduced LTV.

On some programs there's no title seasoning requirement, including delayed financing. Ask about seasoning on your specific scenario.

On some programs, cash-out proceeds can be added to an asset depletion calculation, which can serve as an alternative to a reverse mortgage.

Not always. One-time expenses and one-time or carry-forward losses on tax returns can sometimes be removed from the income calculation.
