Conventional Loans

Standard conforming loans with competitive rates and flexible terms

Conventional loans are not backed by a government agency, which often means better rates and lower overall costs for borrowers with strong credit. They conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines and are the most common loan type in the US mortgage market.

Who This Is For

Buyers who can put 5-20% down and want to avoid or eventually remove mortgage insurance

Homebuyers purchasing primary residences, second homes, or investment properties

Borrowers who want flexibility in loan terms — 15, 20, or 30-year fixed, or adjustable rate options
