Florida Conventional Loans
Florida Conventional mortgages are a great choice for many homeowners because they offer lower costs than some other popular loan types. If you have a high enough credit score and a large enough down payment, a conventional mortgage might be right for you.
There are two different types of conventional loans; conforming loan and high balance loan. Here at New Dwelling Mortgage, we help you identify which loan program works best for your needs.
Florida Conventional Loan
What is a Conventional Mortgage?
A conventional mortgage is a home loan that isn't guaranteed or insured by the federal government. Conventional Mortgages that conform to the requirements set forth by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are called Conforming Loans.
Conventional mortgages can also be non-conforming, which means that they don’t meet Fannie Mae’s or Freddie Mac’s guidelines. One type of non-conforming conventional mortgage is a High Balance conventional loan, a mortgage that exceeds conforming loan limits. You'll need a credit score of at least 640 to qualify for a conventional loan, though a score that's above 740 will help you get the best rate. Depending on your debt to income ratios and the amount you're borrowing, you may be able to make a down payment that's as low as 3% (97% LTV) with a conventional loan. Although, be aware that a higher down payment may help get you a lower rate.
