Mortgage Programs
Conventional Loans
Conventional loans provide flexibility and lower interest rates for borrowers with higher credit scores.
Flexible Options With Conventional Loans
Conventional loans work well for a range of borrowers, but are best suited for those with high credit scores and, typically, higher amounts available for a down payment. Fixed-rate Conventional Loans are common if you are planning to stay in your home for a longer term. For the lowest possible initial rate, or if you are planning to move or refinance in a few years, a Conventional Loan with an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) can be a better option. A Conventional Loan has flexible options including:
- Use it to finance primary/secondary homes or investment properties (1-4 units)
- Offering a Cash-out refinance
- Providing various loan terms
- Low down payment options
- Possible seller’s concessions, dependent on down payment
Why Choose A

Flexible Loan Terms
Conventional loans typically come with a range of term lengths, allowing borrowers to select options that best fit their financial situation and goals. -
Avoiding Mortgage Insurance

Less Stringent Eligibility Criteria
While conventional loans still have eligibility requirements, they may be more lenient compared to government-backed loans. -
Investment Opportunities
For individuals viewing real estate as an investment, conventional loans can offer advantages like easier access to financing for non-owner-occupied properties or investment ventures.
