What Is a Conventional Loan?
Â
A conventional loan is a mortgage that is not insured or guaranteed by a government agency. Many conventional loans follow guidelines established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Â
Unlike FHA loans, conventional financing can be used for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties, depending on the program and qualifications.
Â
Key Benefits
Â
Low Down Payment Options
Qualified borrowers may be able to purchase with as little as 3% down on certain conventional programs.
Â
Potentially Lower Mortgage Insurance
If you put less than 20% down, private mortgage insurance (PMI) may apply. Unlike FHA mortgage insurance, conventional PMI can generally be removed once certain requirements are met.
Competitive Rates
Borrowers with strong credit and financial profiles may qualify for competitive interest rates.
Flexible Property Options
Conventional loans can finance primary residences, second homes, and eligible investment properties.
