- Multiple terms available
- No mortgage insurance with down payments greater than 20% loan-to-value
- Easy to shop and compare since this is a widely available product
- Typically offers lower rates if you meet loan requirements
Down Payment Options:
- 3% — First-Time Home Buyer
- 5% — Primary Residence
- 20% — Investment Property
- 10% — Second Home
Maximum Loan Amount:
$832,750
Low Down Payment Option: Conventional 97% LTV
A conventional 97% LTV loan is similar to a traditional conventional loan; however, this program allows buyers to purchase a home with only a 3% down payment.
Qualification Guidelines:
- Loan amount may not exceed $832,750
- Must be a one-unit, single-family property
- Must be owner-occupied
- At least one borrower must not have owned a home in the last three years
- Must be a fixed-rate mortgage
*Other restrictions may apply.
A conventional 97% LTV loan is often a strong option for first-time homebuyers because the guidelines align with their typical financial profile. Another advantage is that the entire 3% down payment may come from gifted funds, provided the gift is from a:
- Relative (by blood or marriage)
- Legal guardian
- Domestic partner
- Fiancé or fiancée
