Conventional Mortgage

Hi,

Can you please recommend where you got your conventional mortgage with less than 20% down? TIA.

Re: Conventional Mortgage

I don't know of any lenders that require 20% down for a conventional loan. The 20% down is just to avoid paying pmi.

I've had people do as little as 5% down, although most conventional buyers have at least 10%.

However, the qualification requirements are more strict for a conventional loan, and get stricter the less money the buyer is putting down. So if someone wants to go conventional with less than 10% down, they really need stellar credit and a great debt to income ratio. For that reason, many buyers with a smaller down payment need to go the FHA route.
