Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of Conventional loans?

Conventional loans include Fixed-Rate Mortgages (FRMs), Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs), and loans for specific needs, such as high-value properties or investment properties.

Fixed-Rate Mortgages (FRMs): Offer a consistent interest rate and monthly payment for the entire loan term, typically 15 or 30 years.

Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs): Start with a lower, fixed interest rate for a set period, after which the rate may adjust periodically based on market conditions.

Jumbo Loans: Designed for high-value properties, these loans exceed the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Investment Property Loans: Used for purchasing or refinancing rental or income-generating properties, with different requirements than primary residence loans.

What is the difference between a Conventional loan and a government-backed loan?

Conventional loans are not insured or guaranteed by the government, unlike FHA, VA, or USDA loans, which have specific requirements and benefits.

How much down payment is typically required for a Conventional loan?

Down payment requirements vary but often range from 3% to 20%, depending on the loan program and the borrower’s financial situation.

What credit score is needed for a Conventional loan?

Conventional loans generally require a credit score of at least 620, but higher scores may qualify for better rates and terms.

What is the maximum loan term for a Conventional mortgage?

The most common loan terms are 15 or 30 years, but other options may be available depending on the programs we offer and your financial goals.

Are there limits on how much can be borrowed with a Conventional loan?

Yes, Conventional loans are subject to conforming loan limits, which vary by location. Loans exceeding these limits are considered Jumbo loans.

Are there closing costs associated with Conventional loans?

Yes, Conventional loans come with closing costs, which typically include appraisal fees, loan origination fees, and title insurance. These costs can vary by location.

Do Conventional loans require Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)?

PMI is typically required if the down payment is less than 20%. However, once equity reaches 20%, PMI can often be removed.

Can Conventional loans be used for refinancing?

Yes, Conventional loans can be used to refinance existing mortgages, potentially offering lower rates or better terms depending on market conditions and borrower qualifications.

How does a Fixed-Rate Conventional loan differ from an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)?

A Fixed-Rate loan offers a consistent interest rate and monthly payment for the life of the loan, while an ARM starts with a lower rate that may adjust periodically after an initial fixed period.
