Question 1

What is the conforming loan limit in San Bernardino County?

San Bernardino County follows the standard FHFA conforming limit. Loans above that threshold require jumbo financing.

Accepted Answer

Most jumbo lenders want 10-20% down. Some require more depending on the loan size and your credit profile.

Question 4

Can I get a jumbo loan with a 680 credit score?
