Frequently Asked Questions

Get the facts about conventional mortgages.

What are the main types of conventional mortgage loans?

They are:

  • Conforming loans: are within FHFA limits
  • Jumbo loans: go beyond the conforming limits
  • Subprime loans: for borrowers with low credit who do not qualify for conventional mortgage
  • Non-qualified mortgage: for borrowers who do not meet the debt-to-income or credit requirements but can afford a mortgage
  • Adjustable-rate loans: mortgages with an introductory rate that starts to fluctuate after some years
  • Amortized conventional loans: a larger portion of the loan goes towards paying the interest over the principal first and gradually shifts to the principal over interest with time.

Which is the minimum down payment for conventional home financing?

First time homebuyers may be pleased to know that you must put down at little as 3% of the mortgage loan amount. However, to get the best conventional mortgage rate, make a larger down payment.

Who can apply for a conventional mortgage?

A conventional home loan is ideal for persons with good or excellent credit scores because they get favorable interest rates and the cost of private mortgage insurance is relatively low.

How To Apply for Conventional Home Financing
