What Is A Conventional Loan?

Flexible financing without government insurance

A conventional loan is any mortgage not backed by a government agency like the FHA, VA, or USDA. They are the most common type of mortgage in the country — issued by private lenders and often sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

Because they are not government-insured, conventional loans reward stronger credit and stable income with better pricing, more flexible terms, and the ability to drop mortgage insurance once you have enough equity.

  • Down payments as low as 3% for qualified buyers
  • No upfront mortgage insurance premium
  • Private mortgage insurance can be removed at 20% equity
Why Choose CONVENTIONAL

Built for buyers who earn their terms

Conventional loans reward strong credit and stable income with better pricing and real flexibility.

Down From 3%

Qualified first-time buyers can put as little as 3% down — and a larger down payment lowers your rate.

No Upfront MI

Unlike FHA loans, there is no upfront mortgage insurance premium added at closing.

MI Drops Off

Private mortgage insurance can be removed once you reach 20% equity — FHA mortgage insurance often cannot.

Competitive Rates

Strong credit and stable income typically earn the most competitive pricing available.

Flexible Terms

Choose 30-year, 20-year, or 15-year terms to match your budget and your goals.

Guidance Included

We compare conventional against FHA and VA to find the lowest total cost for your file.

Am I Eligible?

Simple, clear qualification guidelines

These are typical conventional guidelines. Your exact scenario is reviewed one-on-one by a specialist.

01

Credit Score

Conventional loans generally look for a 620 score or better. Higher scores unlock better pricing and lower down payment requirements.

02

Down Payment

As low as 3% for qualified first-time buyers, 5% for many others. Putting 20% down eliminates mortgage insurance entirely.

03

Debt-to-Income

Generally up to 45%, with flexibility toward 50% when strong credit and cash reserves are present.

04

Steady Income

Two years of stable, documented income is typical. W-2, self-employed, and other documentation paths are all available.

05

Occupancy Type

Available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties — each with different terms and pricing.

06

Loan Limits

Standard conforming loan limits apply. Larger amounts may move into our Jumbo program.

Conventional FAQs

Questions about conventional loans

A conventional loan is any mortgage not insured by a government agency. FHA, VA, and USDA loans are government-backed; everything else — including loans sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — is conventional.

It depends on your credit and down payment. FHA is often easier to qualify for with lower scores, while conventional usually costs less over time for stronger borrowers because mortgage insurance can be removed. We compare both for your file.

Yes — putting 20% down eliminates private mortgage insurance from the start. If you put less down, PMI can typically be removed once you reach 20% equity, which is a key advantage over FHA.

A single application produces a soft or hard inquiry depending on the stage. We walk you through pre-qualification first, so you can see real numbers before anything impacts your credit.
