At FIRST AMERICAN MORTGAGE, we’ll provide you all the information you need to decide if a conventional mortgage is best for you, or if there are more beneficial options suited to your situation. A conventional loan is a mortgage that is not guaranteed or insured by any government agency like the FHA or Veteran’s Affairs. Conventional loans are increasingly popular because of relatively low rates and flexible guidelines. Who qualifies for Conventional Financing? Borrowers with good credit — scores of 720+ — are the best candidates for conventional loans. Depending on your credit history, the minimum down payment could be as low as 3%. Loans are available to credit scores from 620+, generally with a larger down payment. Conventional loans come in 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30-year terms. A shorter term generally means a higher monthly payment. Please share your specific circumstances with your FIRST AMERICAN MORTGAGE loan officer. Because we process, underwrite, and prepare all our loans for in house we can tailor a solution just for you.
