What a conventional loan is and who it fits.
A conventional loan is a mortgage that isn't insured or guaranteed by a government agency like FHA or the VA. It's a common choice for buyers with steady income and solid credit, and it works for primary homes, second homes, and investment properties.
The details matter. Your credit, your down payment, and your monthly debts all shape your rate, your fees, and any mortgage insurance. I'll walk you through how each piece affects your payment so there are no surprises later.
Whether you're buying your first place in Las Vegas or moving up to a bigger home in Henderson or Summerlin, conventional is usually one of the first options we look at together.
Why many buyers choose conventional.
Mortgage insurance can end
Once you build enough equity, conventional mortgage insurance can be removed, which lowers your monthly payment.
Flexible down payment
Low down payment options exist, and putting more down can improve your pricing. We'll compare both.
More property types
Conventional financing covers primary residences, second homes, and investment properties.
Clear comparisons
I'll put conventional side by side with FHA or VA so you can see the real difference in cost.
A conventional loan usually fits if
- You have steady, documented income
- Your credit is in good shape
- You want mortgage insurance that can come off later
- You're buying a primary home, second home, or rental
- You're moving up and using equity from your current home
- You want to compare your options before you commit
