Conventional Loans

Conventional Loan

Conventional loans offer flexibility, competitive rates, and no upfront funding fee.

If you have steady income and solid credit, a conventional loan is often the most affordable path to homeownership — with fewer long-term fees than government-backed options.

Put more of your money toward your home and less toward fees with a loan that adapts to your down payment, your credit, and your timeline.

Conforming conventional loans

These loans fall within the loan limits set each year by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because they meet standard guidelines, they typically come with the most competitive interest rates and the widest range of term options — from 10 to 30 years, fixed or adjustable.

Qualified buyers can put down as little as 3%. And unlike FHA loans, private mortgage insurance is not permanent — once you reach 20% equity in your home, PMI can be removed, which lowers your monthly payment for the rest of the loan.

Non-conforming conventional loans

When the amount you need exceeds the conforming loan limit for your county, you move into jumbo territory. These loans make higher-priced homes possible, but the qualifying standards are tighter.

Expect a larger down payment, a stronger credit profile, and more cash reserves at closing. Rates are still competitive, and for buyers purchasing in higher-cost markets this is often the only conventional route available.

  • Conventional loans are not insured or guaranteed by the government, so approval is based on your credit, income, assets, and debt-to-income ratio.
  • Down payments start as low as 3% for eligible buyers, and 20% down removes private mortgage insurance entirely.
  • Choose a fixed rate for a payment that never changes, or an adjustable rate if you plan to move or refinance within a few years.
  • There is no upfront funding fee or mortgage insurance premium like FHA, VA, or USDA loans carry.
  • Your actual rate and payment will vary based on your situation and current market rates when you apply.
  • Pay your mortgage off at any time without pre-payment penalties.

Brian helped me get funding when I had been turned down by multiple other lenders due to being self-employed. The entire process was seamless and I am so grateful for his help. Thanks to him I get to make necessary repairs to my home and stay in it for years to come.

Great experience! We’ve worked with Brian for about 7 years now. We live in Colorado and when Brian advised he was moving to TN, we were bummed. Thankfully, that doesn’t prevent us from doing business! This process was fairly streamline and fairly painless. Brian made sure to update us along the way and advise if there were additional documents needed. I definitely recommend using Brother’s Financial!!
