Conventional mortgages are the most common loan type in the U.S., backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines. They’re great for well-qualified buyers and homeowners who want competitive pricing, clear terms, and options to remove PMI once equity grows.

What is a Conventional loan?
A mortgage that follows Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac rules. It isn’t insured by FHA or guaranteed by VA.
How much down payment do I need?
As low as 3% for eligible first-time buyers; 5%+ is common for others. 20% avoids PMI.
What credit score do I need?
Guidelines vary by lender, but 620+ is a typical starting point. Higher scores can improve pricing and PMI.
How does PMI work—and can I remove it?
If you put <20% down, PMI applies. You can request removal near 80% LTV (with conditions), and it’s automatic at 78% if you’re on time.
Fixed vs ARM—how do I choose?
Fixed is predictable for long-term holds. ARMs can start lower if you expect to move or refinance in ~5–10 years.
Can I refinance from FHA to Conventional to drop MIP?
Yes—many homeowners refinance into Conventional once they have 20%+ equity to eliminate FHA MIP and/or reduce payment.
