Most Common Types of Conventional Loans

  • Fixed-Rate Conventional Loans: The interest rate remains the same throughout the life of the loan, providing predictable monthly payments.
  • Adjustable-Rate Conventional Loans (ARM): The interest rate may change over time based on market conditions, leading to potential changes in monthly payments.
  • Conforming Loans: These loans meet the guidelines set by government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, which helps keep rates competitive.
  • Non-Conforming Loans: These loans do not meet GSE standards, and they typically apply to larger loan amounts or other unique criteria.

Important Information

  • Conventional loans may require private mortgage insurance (PMI) if the down payment is less than 20%.
  • Loan terms typically range from 15 to 30 years.
  • Approval is based on your credit score, income, debt-to-income ratio, and down payment amount.
