Quick program summary
A conventional mortgage is a loan offered through private lenders that is not insured or guaranteed by a federal government loan program such as FHA, VA or USDA.
- Financing through private lenders without federal loan-program insurance or guarantee
- Used for eligible purchase, rate-and-term refinance and cash-out scenarios
- Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate structures may be available
- Primary residences, second homes and investment properties may each be considered
- Documentation generally follows standard income, asset and credit review
What is conventional loans?
Conventional financing is the most widely used mortgage category in the United States. Loans are made by private lenders and many follow guidelines published by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The difference from FHA, VA and USDA loans is the absence of a federal insurance or guarantee layer. That changes how mortgage insurance, property standards and eligibility are handled.
Transactions commonly considered include buying a primary residence, purchasing a second home or rental, refinancing to change rate or term, and cash-out refinances on eligible properties.
Before requesting a review, it helps to have a sense of your documented income, the funds available for down payment and closing, and the property type you are considering.
Who may want to explore it?
May be worth exploring if your income is documented through W-2s or consistent tax returns
Could be considered for buyers who prefer to avoid federal loan-program requirements
Options may be available for second home and investment property purchases
May fit borrowers refinancing to change the rate, term or loan structure
Could be considered when the property must meet fewer program-specific conditions
What this program may offer.
Single-family, condominium, townhome and small multi-unit properties may each be considered.
Primary residence, second home and investment property scenarios are all part of the conventional category.
Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate structures may be available depending on the lender and the term selected.
Where private mortgage insurance applies, it may be cancellable once equity conditions under applicable rules are met.
The same category covers purchases, rate-and-term refinances and cash-out requests on eligible properties.
