What is a Conventional Loans
Conventional loans are offered by non-government sponsored lenders. A conventional, or conforming, mortgage adheres to the guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It may have either a fixed or adjustable rate. These loans have evolved from 30-year mortgage with 20% down payment, to 3% down payment and you can choose any term length, such as 23 years or 14 years. Make your mortgage work for you!
With all loans, credit score is important, the lower the credit score, the higher the interest you will receive. All conventional loans with less than 20% down payment have mortgage insurance premiums, which protects the lender if you default.
