Your credit is important, so we don't do a hard pull until you're absolutely ready. (And we'll always ask for permission when we do.)
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.
