Conventional Financing
What is Conventional Financing?
A Flexible, Popular Option for Homebuyers
Conventional financing refers to a home loan that isn’t backed by a government agency like the FHA, VA, or USDA. Instead, it follows guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it's issued by private lenders.
Why Choose a Conventional Loan?
- ✅ Competitive Interest Rates – Great rates for borrowers with solid credit.
- ✅ Flexible Down Payment Options – As low as 3% for qualified buyers.
- ✅ No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) with 20% Down – Save monthly once you hit that equity milestone.
- ✅ Wide Range of Property Types – Single-family homes, condos, second homes, and even investment properties.
Who’s a Good Fit for Conventional Financing?
- Buyers with good to excellent credit
- Those with steady income and employment history
- Homebuyers who can put down at least 3%
- Anyone looking for flexibility and potential long-term savings
Whether you’re purchasing your first home or upgrading to your next, I’ll help you determine if conventional financing is the right fit—and guide you through every step of the process.

- Buyers with limited savings
- Borrowers with moderate or recovering credit

Keep in mind: FHA loans require mortgage insurance, both upfront and monthly, but for many buyers, the benefits far outweigh the cost.
