Conventional Loans

For a flexible mortgage that can include a fixed or adjustable interest rate and a low down payment, a conventional loan is a great choice.

American Mortgage Solutions has helped borrowers throughout the states of Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Colorado and Indiana to buy homes affordably using conventional mortgages.

What is a Conventional Mortgage?

Any mortgage that is not insured by a government agency like the FHA or VA is a conventional home loan.

If that mortgage is also eligible for purchase by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, it is known as a conforming loan.

Homebuyers who are interested in conventional loans typically are inquiring about conforming loans specifically.

In order for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to be able to purchase a loan, it has to fit within their conforming loan limits.
Mortgages that fall outside of those limits are called non-conforming or jumbo loans.
