Common Questions

Good to know.

What credit score do I need for a conventional loan?+

Most programs start around 620, but the best rates kick in at 740+. We'll review your credit together and map a path to the best pricing tier available to you.

How much down payment do I need?+

As little as 3% with Conventional 97, or 5% on standard programs. Putting 20% down eliminates PMI entirely — we'll run both scenarios so you can decide.

What's the difference between conventional and FHA?+

Conventional is privately insured and typically better for borrowers with strong credit and steady income. FHA is government-backed and more forgiving on credit, but carries lifetime mortgage insurance on most loans.

Can I use a conventional loan for an investment property?+

Yes — conventional financing is one of the most common ways to finance rentals and second homes, with down payments typically starting at 15–25%.
