Questions about Conventional Loans

Is conventional always cheaper than FHA?

Not always. It depends on credit, down payment and mortgage insurance. I'll put both side by side.

When can I drop PMI?

On many conventional loans, PMI can be removed once you reach enough equity. I'll explain the path on your loan.

Can I buy an investment property conventionally?

Sometimes, with larger down payments and tighter guidelines. If rentals are the goal, I'll also compare DSCR.

Buy with as little as 3.5% down and flexible credit guidelines.
