What Is a Conventional Mortgage?
A conventional mortgage is one of the most popular home loan options because it offers competitive rates, flexible terms, and straightforward requirements. These loans are not backed by the government, which gives lenders more freedom in how they structure them. Whether you’re buying your first home or upgrading to your next, a conventional mortgage can provide predictable monthly payments and long-term stability. With a range of down payment options, this loan type works well for a wide variety of credit profiles and financial goals.
