A Conventional Mortgage is simply any mortgage loan that is not insured or guaranteed by the federal or state government. Conventional Mortgages typically require a higher down payment, usually 5%–20%. They also have higher income and credit score requirements than government loans.
Conventional Mortgages can have a fixed interest rate or an adjustable interest rate. Typical fixed-rate loans have a term of 30 or 15 years. Mesa Mortgage offers conventional home loans.
