Conventional Home Loans in San Diego
Conventional mortgages offer a range of financing options for primary homes, second homes, and eligible investment properties. Mortgage Mijo helps borrowers compare options and understand the questions that matter before applying. Program availability and approval depend on the lender and borrower.
Conforming versus nonconforming
Many conventional loans follow Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines and applicable conforming loan limits. Other conventional products can use different underwriting rules.
Down payment and PMI
Certain eligible programs allow less than 20% down. Private mortgage insurance is often required with a smaller down payment, and cancellation rules depend on the loan.
How to evaluate offers
Review fixed and adjustable options, credit and reserve requirements, closing costs, PMI, and the effect of different down payments on the total cost.
Common question
Is a 20% down payment required?
Not always. Available programs and qualification requirements vary.
