Conventional Loans

Lower fees, flexible down payments, and faster approvals.

Conventional mortgages are not insured or guaranteed by FHA, VA, or USDA, and they are the most widely used type of home loan. They follow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines, which means competitive fixed or adjustable rates, flexible terms, and options for primary homes, second homes, and investment properties. Down payments can start as low as about 3% for qualified borrowers, and mortgage insurance can be removed once you reach at least 20% equity, which can reduce your monthly payment over time.
