Conventional Loans
Conventional loans often require a higher down payment compared to FHA loans, usually around 5% to 20% of the purchase price, but sometimes as little as 3%. The credit requirements for conventional loans are typically stricter, with lenders looking for a credit score of at least 620 or higher.
However, borrowers with excellent credit may be able to secure a lower interest rate and better terms on a conventional loan. Conventional loans can be used to purchase a variety of property types, including single-family homes, multi-unit properties, and condominiums.
