Conventional Loans

Most of the loans generates today are FHA insured mainly due to the low down payment requirements and higher DTI requirements. Nevertheless, conventional loans are a great option and less expensive with the help of Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). Recently new options for PMI have made it possible for borrowers to obtain a conventional loan with as little as 5% down payment and have a lower monthly payment than with an FHA loan. Instead of an addition to the monthly payment the PMI is financed into the loan therefore eliminating the monthly payment add on.
