What is a conventional loan?

Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker

A conventional loan is a mortgage not backed by a government agency, conforming to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines. It needs a 620-plus score and as little as 3% down, with removable PMI under 20% down.
