Conventional
A Great Loan with Great Features
Conventional loans are not backed by a government agency. While qualifications may be tougher, they offer great rates, many down payment options, and flexible terms. You generally need a good to strong credit score to qualify for a loan of this type.
Conventional loans are broken down into these two main categories:
Conforming Loans
Loans that have a maximum loan amount set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Non-Conforming Loans
Loans that don't meet Fannie and Freddie's standards.
There three main reasons why a loan might not conform:
- It is large, reaching the "Jumbo" standard
- A fixed and adjustable-rate loan is available
- Down payments may be as low as 5% or 10%
