Conventional Mortgages: Your Path to Homeownership

Welcome to Southern Elite Mortgage, where your dream home becomes a reality. A conventional mortgage is one of the most popular loan options available, and for good reason. With flexible terms and competitive rates, it’s a fantastic choice for many homebuyers.

What is a Conventional Mortgage?

A conventional mortgage is a type of home loan that is not insured or guaranteed by any government agency, such as the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), or the USDA Rural Housing Service. Instead, these loans adhere to the guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two largest investors in conventional loans.

Qualifications for a Conventional Mortgage

To qualify for a conventional mortgage, you generally need:

A credit score of 620 or higher
A down payment of at least 3%
A debt-to-income ratio (DTI) of 43% or lower, although some lenders may allow higher ratios with compensating factors
Qualifying Income and Employment History

Benefits of Conventional Mortgages

Lower Costs: Conventional loans often have lower costs compared to government-backed loans. Without the requirement for upfront mortgage insurance premiums, you save on initial costs.

Flexible Terms: Choose from various term lengths, typically ranging from 10 to 30 years. Shorter the loan term, the less interest you will pay over the life of the loan.

Down Payment Options: With little as 3% down, Private mortgage insurance may be required. With 20% Down no mortgage insurance will be required

Competitive Interest Rates: With a strong credit score, you can secure lower interest rates compared to other types of loans.
