Conventional loans are a popular type of mortgage that isn’t backed by a government agency. These loans are often ideal for buyers with strong credit and stable income. Here’s a straightforward guide to understanding conventional loans:
Key Features:
Down Payment Options: As low as 3% of the home’s purchase price.
Fixed-Rate Options: Choose from 15, 20, or 30-year fixed-rate terms, meaning your interest rate will stay the same throughout the loan.
Loan-to-Value (LTV): You can finance up to 97% of your home’s value.
Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC): If you’re a first-time homebuyer, you may be eligible for an MCC, which reduces your annual tax liability.
Who Can Apply?
Minimum Credit Score: You need at least a 620 credit score to qualify.
Citizenship: Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Benefits of Conventional Loans:
Flexibility: Conventional loans can be used for a variety of property types, including single-family homes, condos, and more.
No Mortgage Insurance (with 20% Down): If you can make a down payment of 20% or more, you won’t need to pay for private mortgage insurance (PMI).
Higher Loan Limits: Conventional loans typically allow for higher loan amounts compared to FHA or USDA loans.
