Conventional Loans
Conventional loans are one of the most popular mortgage options for homebuyers. With competitive rates and flexible terms, they can be a great choice for borrowers with strong credit and stable income.
What Is a Conventional Loan?
Benefits
Benefits of Conventional Loans
Competitive Interest Rates
Borrowers with strong credit may qualify for attractive mortgage rates.
Flexible Loan Terms
Conventional loans often offer different term options, such as 15-year or 30-year mortgages.
Lower Overall Mortgage Costs
With the right qualifications, conventional loans may provide lower long-term costs compared to some other loan programs.
Private Mortgage Insurance May Be Removed
If your down payment is less than 20%, private mortgage insurance (PMI) may be required—but it can usually be removed once enough equity is built.
Higher Loan Limits
Conventional loans may allow higher loan limits compared to certain government loan programs.
Variety of Property Types
Conventional financing may be used for primary residences, second homes, and some investment properties.

- Have good to excellent credit
- Can make a moderate to larger down payment
- Want flexible loan terms
