A home loan you can count on

Low down payment options

As low as 3% down for first-time buyers, leaving more cash in your pocket for renovations or furnishings.

Cancel PMI sooner

Avoid private mortgage insurance upfront with the minimum down payment on a conventional loan, or cancel PMI once you reach 20% home equity.

Flexible property types

Use a conventional loan to buy a primary residence, a second vacation home, or an investment property — unlike government-backed FHA loans or VA loans.

Higher loan limits

Borrow up to the Texas conforming loan limits to secure your dream home without stepping into a jumbo loan.

Frequently asked questions

Here are answers to some of the most common questions about the conventional loan process. For background on rates, read our breakdown of why FHA APRs are higher.

Conventional loans require higher credit scores (typically 620+) but offer more flexible terms, including the ability to drop Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) once you reach 20% equity. FHA loans are more lenient on credit (580+) but require a mortgage insurance premium for the life of the loan.
No! Most first-time homebuyers can qualify for a conventional loan with as little as 3% down. Repeat buyers can typically put down 5%. While 20% down avoids PMI, it's not a requirement.
Yes. Unlike government-backed loans (FHA, VA) which require you to live in the home as your primary residence, conventional loans can be used to finance primary residences, second vacation homes, and investment properties.
The minimum credit score is typically 620. However, borrowers with credit scores of 740 or higher generally receive the most competitive interest rates because conventional loans are heavily risk-based.
