About Conventional Loans

Conventional loans aren't insured by a government agency. They offer a range of terms for primary homes, second homes, and investment properties. Lee can compare the rate, fees, and mortgage insurance with other programs for your situation.

Key benefits

A range of property options

Programs cover eligible houses, condos, and two- to four-unit homes. The property and borrower still need to meet the selected program's requirements.

Drop PMI

For many conventional loans, you can request PMI cancellation at 80% of the home's original value, subject to requirements. Automatic termination generally follows the scheduled 78% date if payments are current.

Higher loan amounts

The 2026 baseline conforming limit for a one-unit home is $832,750. Limits vary by county and number of units.

Compare loan terms

Compare fixed and adjustable rates, loan lengths, upfront costs, and monthly payments before choosing a loan.
