Frequently Asked Questions: Traditional Mortgages
What is a traditional mortgage?
The term “traditional mortgage” refers to a broad category of loan types that typically have similar loan approval processes, income verification standards, documentation requirements, and so on. Traditional mortgages are often referred to as conventional loans, although this characterization isn’t completely accurate.
A conventional loan is any loan that is backed by a private lender rather than the government. While Griffin Funding does offer conventional loans, several of our traditional mortgages—such as VA loans and FHA loans—are backed by the government.
What credit score do I need for a traditional mortgage loan?
The credit score you need will depend on the loan you’re applying for. While, for example, VA loan credit score requirements can be somewhat flexible, conventional loans tend to be more stringent. In general, lenders like to see potential home buyers that have a minimum credit score of 620. However, the higher your credit score is, the better your interest rate and loan terms will be.
What is the interest rate for a traditional mortgage?
The interest rate for your mortgage will depend on a number of factors. In general, the two largest factors impacting your interest rate will be market conditions and your own financial situation. You can typically qualify for a lower interest rate if you have a high credit score, low DTI, and a high income relative to the loan amount you’re applying for.
Your interest rate also depends on the type of loan you take out. While some loans are more reliant on market conditions to determine a rate, others—such as VA loans and some loans for first-time home buyers—are able to offer lower rates due to special programs or government backing.
