CONVENTIONAL HOME LOAN FAQs
Yes, a down payment is required for a conventional home loan. In some circumstances, your down payment can be as low as 3%, but a 20% down payment is required to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). Your Mortgage Advisor can help you determine what will work best for your financial situation.
With a fixed-rate mortgage, your interest rate doesn’t change, so you pay the same the amount of principal and interest every month. However, your total monthly payment might change if your taxes or insurance costs change.
With an adjustable-rate mortgage, your monthly payment can change over time. Your interest rate is linked to an economic index, so it adjusts up or down as that index changes. If your rate goes up, then your monthly payment also goes up. If your rate drops, you’ll have a lower monthly payment.
When you apply for a mortgage, your credit score affects the interest rate you qualify for. With a higher credit score, you can usually qualify for a lower interest rate, which reduces your monthly payment and lowers the overall cost of the loan.

If you want to buy a home within the next few months, then it’s a good idea to get preapproved for a mortgage. Preapproval shows sellers that you’re serious about buying and you have the funds you need. If you’re looking for a home in a competitive market, getting preapproved can give you an advantage over other buyers.
