Conventional Loans

One of the most important factors that borrowers focus on when it comes to borrowing money is cost, especially when considering a home loan. Conventional loans are generally considered the lowest-cost option when purchasing a primary residence. This type of loan is quite popular with home loan borrowers due to its flexibility and affordability.

What is a Conventional Home Loan?

In contrast to FHA and VA loans, conventional home loans are not insured by a government agency. Because they adhere to specific guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, conventional loans typically offer lower interest rates than other types of loans.

Benefits of Conventional Loans

  • Lower Costs: The key advantage of conventional loans is the costs. The total cost of this kind of loan is significantly less expensive than government-backed loans, e.g., FHA or VA loans.
  • Down Payment: Borrowers can get conventional loans with as little as 3% down, making them accessible to those who may not have significant savings.
  • Insurance costs: Conventional loan insurance costs are lower than any other loan types, such as FHA loans, and provide greater flexibility for self-employed and variable-income borrowers, for example.
  • Wide range of lenders: There are many conventional mortgage lenders, and borrowers are free to shop around for the best rates and terms.
