Requirements

620

Credit Score

Conventional loans require a minimum credit score of 620. If you don't meet this, don't worry, we have other pathways to homeownership.

3%

Down Payment

The minimum down payment is based on several factors, including loan type, credit score and debt-to-income (DTI) ratio.

45%

Debt-to-Income Ratio

Your total monthly debt, including the new mortgage, should not exceed 45% of your gross monthly income. Exceptions can be made for borrowers with strong compensating factors.

Additional Requirements

Loan Limits

For a conforming conventional loan, your loan must fall within the loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. For the current year, the conforming loan limit for a single-family home is the specified conforming loan limits. There are exceptions, however. Alaska, Hawaii, and other high-cost areas of the country have higher loan limits, ranging up to $1,089,300.

PMI

If you put down less than 20% on a conventional loan, you’ll be required to pay for private mortgage insurance (PMI). PMI protects mortgage investors in case of a loan default. The cost for PMI varies based on your loan type, your credit score, and the size of your down payment.
