Conventional Home Loans
Conventional Home Loans in San Diego: Your Path to Homeownership
A conventional home loan is a type of mortgage that is not backed by a government agency like the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Instead, these loans are offered through private lenders, like banks or mortgage companies, and they adhere to the guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These loans are popular for good reason—they often provide competitive interest rates, flexible terms, and the ability to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) if you meet certain criteria.
Why Choose a Conventional Home Loan?
Competitive Interest Rates
Conventional loans typically offer lower interest rates compared to other loan types, especially for borrowers with good credit. This can mean significant savings over the life of your loan.
Flexible Loan Terms
With conventional loans, you can choose between fixed-rate and adjustable-rate options, as well as varying loan terms. This flexibility allows us to craft a loan package that works with your financial goals and lifestyle.
Higher Loan Limits
If you're looking to purchase a higher-priced property, conventional loans may be a better fit. These loans often have higher loan limits compared to government-backed options, especially in areas like San Diego where property values are higher.
No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) with 20% Down
If you’re able to make a 20% down payment, you can avoid PMI entirely. This can save you hundreds of dollars a month and make homeownership even more affordable.
Is a Conventional Loan Right for You?
A conventional loan might be ideal if:
- You have a credit score of 620 or higher.
- You’re able to make at least a 3% down payment (though 20% is preferred to avoid PMI).
- Your debt-to-income ratio is within acceptable limits.
- You’re purchasing a primary residence, second home, or investment property.
