Conventional Loans With Clear Terms

Smart, Straightforward Financing Without Government Backing

A conventional loan is one of the most popular mortgage options for borrowers with strong credit, consistent income, and flexible down payment savings. Unlike FHA or VA loans, it’s not backed by a government agency — which gives lenders (and you) more freedom to structure terms that make sense. I’ll help you decide if this path is right for your financial goals and walk you through every step of the process.

Ideal for Buyers With Solid Credit and Savings

Fewer Hurdles, More Flexibility

Conventional loans can be more efficient, especially if you’re financially well-qualified. There’s no government-required appraisal or repair standards to meet — which often helps move purchases forward without delay. Sellers also tend to favor conventional buyers for this reason. You’ll have access to higher loan limits, more lender options, and if you’re able to put 20% down, no mortgage insurance is required. It’s a practical option if you're buying a home that needs updates or want to avoid unnecessary red tape.

What Lenders Look For in Conventional Approval

Simple Requirements for Qualified Borrowers

To qualify for a conventional loan, you'll need a valid ID, a reliable income stream, and a good credit history. Most lenders want to see at least two years of consistent employment, a credit score in solid standing, and a manageable debt-to-income ratio — typically below 50%. These loans reward financial stability and allow more control over your financing terms. If you meet the basic qualifications, it could be the most cost-effective way to buy or refinance.
