Benefits
Background & BenefitsWhat is a Conventional Mortgage?
A Conventional Mortgage is a home loan that is not insured or guaranteed by the government. These loans typically offer more flexibility and may come with lower interest rates for borrowers with good credit. Whether you're looking for a fixed-rate mortgage or a variable-rate option, a conventional mortgage can be tailored to suit your homebuying needs.
Key Benefits of a Conventional Mortgage
Up to 97% Loan-to-Value Financing
Borrow up to 97% of your home’s value, allowing for a smaller down payment.
Flexible Terms
Choose between fixed-rate or adjustable-rate options, with terms that best suit your budget and financial goals.
Low Mortgage Insurance
If your down payment is less than 20%, mortgage insurance is typically required. However, we offer low-cost options that keep your payments affordable.
Available for a Variety of Properties
Financing is available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties (up to a four-plex).
Gift Funds and Seller Contributions
Family members can contribute to your down payment, and sellers can contribute up to 3% towards closing costs, which may also be used to buy down the interest rate.
