Conventional Loans
Purchase A Home With As Little as 3% Down.
Conventional loans are a popular choice for many homebuyers. These loans are not backed by the government, which means they're offered by private investors. To qualify for a conventional loan, you'll typically need a good credit score of 620 or higher, stable income, and a down payment of at least 3%. Understanding how much of a down payment you need can help you make better loan choices.
