FAQs – Conventional Home Loans with Jack Jacobs
What is a Conventional Home Loan?
A Conventional Home Loan is a mortgage that is not backed by a government agency like FHA or VA loans. These loans are offered by private lenders and follow guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They typically offer competitive interest rates, flexible terms, and lower overall costs for borrowers with good credit and stable income.
What are the benefits of a Conventional Loan?
Conventional Loans provide several advantages, including:
- Lower Interest Rates – Competitive rates for qualified borrowers.
- Flexible Down Payment Options – As low as 3% down for eligible buyers.
- No Upfront Mortgage Insurance – Unlike FHA loans, conventional loans don’t require an upfront mortgage insurance premium.
- Higher Loan Limits – Great for buyers in areas with high property values.
- More Property Options – Can be used for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties.
How much do I need for a down payment?
Jack Jacobs helps homebuyers qualify for Conventional 97 loans, allowing you to put down as little as 3% if you’re a first-time homebuyer. If you put down 20% or more, you can avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI), saving you money over time.
What credit score do I need for a Conventional Loan?
Most conventional loans require a minimum credit score of 620, but higher scores (typically 700+) can help you qualify for lower interest rates and better loan terms. If your credit needs improvement, Jack can guide you on strategies to boost your score before applying.
What are the income and debt requirements?
Lenders assess your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) to determine your eligibility. Generally, a DTI of 43% or lower is recommended, though some lenders may allow higher ratios with compensating factors like strong credit and financial reserves. Jack Jacobs will review your finances and help you understand what you qualify for.
Do I need mortgage insurance with a Conventional Loan?
If you put down less than 20%, you’ll need Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). PMI protects the lender in case of default, but once you reach 20% home equity, you can request to remove it—unlike FHA loans, which require mortgage insurance for the life of the loan.
Can I use a Conventional Loan for an investment property?
Yes! Conventional Loans allow you to purchase second homes and investment properties, unlike FHA and VA loans, which are only for primary residences. If you’re an investor, Jack Jacobs can help you secure a low-rate, high-return mortgage tailored to your real estate goals.
What is the difference between a Fixed-Rate and Adjustable-Rate Conventional Loan?
- Fixed-Rate Mortgage – Keeps the same interest rate for the life of the loan, offering predictable payments.
- Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) – Starts with a lower interest rate for a set period (e.g., 5, 7, or 10 years), then adjusts based on market rates.
Jack will help you decide which option fits your budget and long-term financial plans.
