What is a Conventional Home Loan? 

A conventional mortgage is a home loan that is not insured or guaranteed by the government, like an FHA or VA loan. Conventional loans are the most common kind of home mortgage loan. Conventional loans come in a variety of term lengths from 10 to 30 years and can have a fixed or an adjustable interest rate.  

Our conventional loans offer: 

  • Flexible repayment terms. Find a term length and loan type to best meet your monthly budget needs. 
  • Competitive interest rates. Enjoy the peace of mind knowing that your rate is fair and competitive. 
  • Fast, local decisions. Our mortgage lenders live and work throughout Florida and will provide responsive and attentive service. 

Fixed-Rate Conventional Mortgages 

With a fixed rate mortgage, your interest rate is locked in at closing, and will never change over the life of your loan. The benefits of a fixed-rate loan include:  

  • Fixed monthly payments. Your total interest and principal payment amount will never change, giving you more control over your monthly budget. 
  • Security against rising rates. Never worry that your rate will go up. 
  • No prepayment penalties. When you are ready to move or want to refinance, you won’t have any fees for paying your loan off early. 

A popular choice for all homebuyers, fixed-rate mortgages are especially beneficial for individuals who plan to stay in their home for the long-term. 

Adjustable-Rate Conventional Mortgages 

Adjustable-Rate Mortgages, often shortened to ‘ARMs’, offer a fixed introductory interest rate, followed by a rate that changes based on the current market. ARMs provide:  

  • Low introductory interest rates. Introductory interest rate is often substantially lower than current market fixed rate, resulting in a lower monthly payment. 
  • Flexible configurations. Introductory periods can vary in length from 3 to 10 years. 
  • Options to refinance. Like fixed-rate loans, ARMs also have no prepayment penalty. Should your monthly payment rise significantly after the initial fixed period, you can choose to refinance into a new loan with a lower rate. 

ARMs can be useful financing tools to reduce interest costs and initial monthly payments, for homebuyers who plan to sell or refinance in a period of 10 years or less. 

What Do I Need to Apply for a Conventional Mortgage? 

Your lender will guide you through the mortgage loan application process, providing details for all documents, items, and qualification requirements you’ll need to complete your conventional mortgage application. These include: 

  • Credit score of 620 or higher 
  • Down payment 
  • Income history for two years 
  • Tax returns, bank statements, and other important financial documents 
  • State ID for all applicants
