You’ve got conventional loan questions. We’ve got answers.
Conventional loans are the most common type of home loan, and feature a wide range of options when it comes to down payment, loan structure, and the type of property you’re buying.
Qualifying first-time homebuyers may be able to put down as little as 3%, while other borrowers may qualify with a down payment as low as 5%. Some buyers also opt for a larger down payment to reduce their monthly payment and avoid private mortgage insurance, or PMI.
Conventional loans differ from government-backed loan types like FHA loans in that they can be used for a wide range of property types, including primary residences, second homes, and investment properties, depending on eligibility.
Credit score requirements vary depending on your unique financial situation, as do debt-to-income requirements.
Do I need to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI) on
a conventional loan?
If you make a down payment of less than 20%, PMI is typically required. However, once you reach 20% equity, you can request to have PMI removed, which lowers your monthly payments.
What credit score do I need to qualify for a conventional loan?
Conventional loans generally require a credit score of at least 620. However, higher scores may help you secure better rates and terms, especially with lower down payments.
What is a conventional loan, and how does it differ from
government-backed loans?
A conventional loan is a mortgage not insured by the government, unlike FHA, VA, or USDA loans. It typically has fewer restrictions and may offer better rates for qualified buyers with good credit.
