What is a Conventional Mortgage?
These are the most common types of loans, falling under market loan limits set by the government for each county. Conventional mortgage loans include fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs), first-time homebuyer loans, trust deed mortgages and more. Most require a down payment, but there are choices that minimize down payment requirements. Note that most programs will require private mortgage insurance if the down payment on your loan is less than 20 percent. We can show you which option is best for your situation.
