What It Is

Conventional loans are the most common mortgage type, not government-backed, and often the best fit for buyers with strong financials. They work for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties, and are available for single-family homes, condos, and PUDs.

Program Details

Conventional Loans

  • Minimum 620 credit score typical
  • From 3% down on eligible programs
  • Fixed and adjustable rate options
  • PMI applies with less than 20% down, removable once you build enough equity

Down payment requirements vary by occupancy and property type, and gift funds or seller concessions may help cover upfront costs on eligible programs. Your loan officer will compare conventional pricing against FHA, VA, and other options so you see the full monthly cost, not just the rate, and will keep your file on track from pre-approval through closing.
