Conventional mortgage loans are not backed by a government entity (such as the Federal Housing Administration). Requirements for these loans are determined by:
- Down payment amount
- Borrower's credit score
- Amount of the loan
- Borrower's income
Conventional mortgage loans offer flexibility to fit your goals:
- Term can range from 5-30 years
- Up to 97% loan to value with 100% gift down payment feature
- Options for both fixed and adjustable rates
When trying to determine if a fixed or adjustable rate best suits your situation, consider the following:
Fixed-Rate Mortgage
A popular choice for long-term homeowners seeking payment stability.
- Principal and interest payments remain the same over the life of the loan
- Locks in an interest rate, protecting against an increase in rates
- Good choice if staying in your home for an extended time
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
A flexible option for buyers who expect to move or refinance in a few years.
- Rate/payment remains fixed for the first 3, 5, 7 or 10 years
- After the initial term, rate adjustments occur annually
- Offers a lower initial interest rate
- Can be ideal for borrowers planning to sell or refinance after the initial term
