Conventional Loans

A conventional loan is not formally backed by any government entity such as FHA or VA. Rather, a conventional loan follows guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two agencies that help standardize mortgage lending in the U.S.

The better your credit score and the larger your down payment, the lower your interest rate will typically be with a conventional loan. It is a common misconception that conventional loans require a minimum 20% down payment, but the truth is that conventional loans are available with as little as 3% down. With this being said, a conventional loan with less than a 20% down payment will require mortgage insurance (PMI).
