Conventional Mortgage Loans

Flexible financing options for primary, secondary and investment properties.

What Is a Conventional Loan?

A conventional mortgage is a home loan that isn’t insured or guaranteed by a government agency. These loans adhere to underwriting standards set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and make up roughly half of all residential mortgages.

Conventional loans offer more flexibility in terms of loan amounts, property types and occupancy — covering primary residences, second homes and investment properties. Borrowers typically need a solid credit profile and down payment, but may enjoy lower mortgage insurance costs and a wide range of term options.
