Conventional Home Loans

A conventional mortgage is ideal for borrowers with stable income and solid credit who want long-term savings and flexible options.

Conventional Loan Benefits:

  • Down payments as low as 3%
  • No upfront mortgage insurance premium
  • Cancelable PMI
  • Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate options
  • Available for primary homes, second homes, and investment properties
  • Conforming and high-balance loan options

If you have good credit and steady income, a conventional loan may offer the most cost-effective path to homeownership.
