Mortgage myths

Don’t let myths about Conventional Loans hold you back

Myth #1: You need to put 20% down to qualify for a Conventional Loan
Not true! A Conventional Loan has a 3% minimum down payment requirement. But if you put down less than 20%, monthly PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) is required.

Myth #2: You need amazing credit
Also not the case! A Conventional Loan has a minimum credit score requirement of 620. However, having healthy credit doesn’t hurt since a higher credit score may help you qualify for a lower mortgage rate.
