Conventional Purchase and Refinance
What is Conventional Mortgage?
Conventional loans are a popular option for financing a home purchase or making changes to your existing mortgage. They're not backed by the government but instead follow guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
​
Buying a home with a conventional loan:
-
Typically requires a higher down payment (usually 5% - 20%) compared to FHA loans.
-
May offer lower interest rates than FHA loans if you have good credit.
-
No mortgage insurance required if you put down 20% or more.
​
Refinancing your existing mortgage with a conventional loan:
-
Can help you lower your interest rate and monthly payment.
-
Offers more flexibility than FHA loans, with options like shortening your loan term or cash-out refinances (accessing your home equity as cash).
