Conventional Home Loans

Conventional home loans are the most common type of home loan. A conventional loan is backed by private lenders and banking institutions rather than the government, and they usually require a credit score of at least 620 because they are not guaranteed by an outside entity. Terms vary in length — from 10, 15, 20, and 30 years — and the borrower should expect to put down around twenty percent. Contact us today to learn more.

A minimum credit score of 580 and down payment of at least 3.5 percent is required for FHA loans, and they are typically more flexible when it comes to rates and terms.
