Simply put, conventional loans are mortgage loans that are not insured by the government. There is no specific government program that they are a part of such as Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) loan programs. Conventional loans are required to conform to the underwriting requirements and loan limits of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

There are two main categories of conventional mortgages:

  • Conforming: A conforming mortgage will follow the guidelines established by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including loan limits. 
  • Non-conforming: This includes Jumbo Loans, which exceed the loan limits imposed by government-backed agencies, and Niche Products for unusual circumstances and riskier products that are much less common these days.

Why Should You Choose A Conventional Loan?

Conventional loans offer down payment options starting at just 3% for qualified consumers, although many people select higher down payments to avoid private mortgage insurance. Borrowers who put 20% down are not required to have mortgage insurance, which can result in substantial savings over the life of the loan. You can finance your primary home, a second (vacation) home and investments properties with a conventional loan. Lastly, most people choose fixed-rate loans instead of an adjustable-rate mortgage, so they don’t have to worry about rising mortgage rates, which will make it easier for them to budget.

Conventional Mortgage borrowers typically make larger down payments and they tend to have a more secure financial standing with their credit and assets. A larger down payment means lower monthly payments
