Conventional Mortgage

Conventional Loans

Conventional loans by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are available to a wide range of consumers in order to fit multiple situations.  If you have great credit and a bit of money saved up, it is likely that one of these conventional loans is perfect for you.

Combo Loans

This is a great way to avoid paying Private Mortgage Insurance.  The combo loans will provide the borrower with two separate mortgages:

  • A first mortgage that is 80% of the purchase price
  • A second mortgage that can be 15%, 10%, or 5%, depending on down payment requirements

Investment Properties

For people that wish to invest in property, a conventional loan is currently the best alternative.  The rates will be extremely low and with the requirement of at least 20% down, there will not be any private mortgage insurance to pay.  For first time buyers of an investment property, their income will need to be high enough to cover their existing debt as well as the new mortgage payment from the investment loan.

Fannie Mae HomeReady® Mortgage

Fannie Mae HomeReady® is aimed at helping families that have income levels in the low to moderate range.  This program is offered by Fannie May.  The credit guidelines are a bit more lenient compared to a traditional conventional loan.  In addition, there is only a small down payment requirement.  If one of the borrowers is a first time home buyer then the down payment could be as low as 3%*. This mortgage can even be used for multi-unit properties if the borrower plans to live in one unit and rent out the remaining units.

Home Possible® Mortgage

Home Possible® Mortgage is aimed at helping borrowers that have income levels in the low to moderate range.  This program is provided by Freddie Mac.  The credit guidelines are a bit more flexible than the traditional conventional loan.  Borrowers are only required to pay a small down payment requirement. If one of the borrowers is a first time home buyer then the down payment could be as low as 3%*. The Home Possible® Mortgage can also be used for multi-unit properties if the borrower intends to live in one unit and rent out the remaining units.

Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Loans (LPMI)

For borrowers that are not able to pay a 20% down payment but would rather avoid paying Private Mortgage Insurance, there is the Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance (LPMI) product.  The mortgage is offered with a slightly higher interest rate.  In exchange, the lender pays the mortgage insurance for the entire loan.  Often times the total mortgage payment under an LPMI loan is less than the mortgage payment for a loan that has private mortgage insurance.
