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.
