Buying or refinancing in Scottsdale
Scottsdale stretches from Old Town condos to large custom homes in north Scottsdale, so loan amounts vary widely and many purchases fall into jumbo territory.
Buyers here are often self-employed, retired or purchasing a second home, which makes flexible documentation options and careful reserve planning important. Short-term rental rules and HOA restrictions are worth checking before you commit to a property.

Scottsdale mortgage questions
What counts as a jumbo loan in Scottsdale?
A jumbo loan is any mortgage above the conforming loan limit for Maricopa County. Many Scottsdale purchases fall above that limit. Jumbo loans often need stronger credit, more reserves and a larger down payment than a conforming loan.
Can self-employed buyers qualify in Scottsdale without tax returns?
Yes. A bank statement loan qualifies business owners on 12 or 24 months of deposits instead of tax returns, which helps when write-offs lower taxable income. Rates are typically higher than conventional loans, so Jeremy compares both when your returns may work.
Can I buy a second home in Scottsdale?
Yes. Second home loans often allow a smaller down payment than investment property loans. The home must be for your own use, not a full-time rental, so if you plan to rent it short term, an investment property loan may be the right fit.
Can I use a Scottsdale home as a short-term rental?
That depends on the city's current short-term rental rules, which require registration and a license, and on any HOA restrictions. Check both before you buy. If rental income is the plan, the loan is usually written as an investment property loan.
