Conventional Loan
Conventional financing is a loan made at the risk of the lender without benefit of any government guarantee or government insurance.
A conventional loan with an LTV (loan to value ratio) of greater than 80% requires primary mortgage insurance, which can be paid monthly. The borrower must have 5% of his/her own funds for the down payment and 2 months reserves on deposit. Closing costs must be paid by the borrower.
Requirements of a conventional loan applicant include excellent credit, job stability with sufficient income, a sizable down payment, and low debt to income ratios. Borrowers who meet conventional financing guidelines are sometimes rewarded with an interest rate only slightly lower than an FHA interest rate.
