Conventional Home Loan

What is a Conventional Home Loan?

A conventional home loan isn’t backed by the federal government and it conforms to the requirements set forth by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

 

Colorado borrowers are typically required to provide a down payment of at least 3% (first-time home buyers), but if borrowers decide to put at least 20% down, they won't have to pay for mortgage insurance. 

 

Conventional loans are geared towards borrowers who can potentially make larger down payments, have a fairly secure financial standing, and are at a lower risk of defaulting on the loan.

Requirements for a Conventional Loan

  • Minimum Down Payment of 3%
     

  • Credit scores as low as 620
     

  • Mortgage Insurance is required if down payment is less than 20%

Conventional Loan Highlights

  • Relatively faster home loan processing
     

  • Generally better interest rates and loan terms compared to VA & FHA loans
     

  • Opportunity to reduce or avoid a Mortgage Insurance Premium
     

  • Loan limits vary by county - Denver County loan limit - $575,000*, El Paso County Loan Limit - $510,400*, Arapahoe County loan limit - $575,000*
    (Contact us for the Conventional Loan Limits in your County)
    * As of January 2020
