Conventional Home Loans
Conventional Home Loans are the pristine, white-picket fenced homes of the mortgage industry. They are designed for the highest credit tier of borrowers and usually require 20% down to be an advantageous option.
What is a Conventional Loan, and is it right for me?
Conventional Home Loans, also referred to as A-Paper Loans, are traditional home loans with the strictest guidelines. They are usually only for those with Excellent credit and 20% saved for a down payment, or more than 20% equity established on your home. Conventional mortgages are a great option to purchase a home with and a great loan to refinance into, once you have the 20% equity. With 20% down or 20% equity, Conventional loans do not have mortgage insurance, which is the single biggest benefit of a traditional Conventional Loan. Conventional Loans are subject to industry loan limits.
