The most appropriate choice for you if you wish to refinance your home to achieve a lower interest rate may be a “Conventional Loan”. The reduction in fees and mortgage rates may save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of the loan.

A conventional mortgage is a loan that is not guaranteed or insured by any government agency. It is typically fixed in its terms and rate.

Conventional mortgages can be the perfect match for those with a good credit history looking for a variety of down payment options and loan amounts. These mortgages follow the lending guidelines set forth by government-sponsored enterprises like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. A conventional mortgage can come with super low closing costs and flexible payment options.

Conventional mortgages may be either conforming or non-conforming. Conforming loans follow the guidelines, terms, and conditions of government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac which are stockholder-owned corporations. Non-conforming conventional loans typically don’t meet the requirements of these government-sponsored enterprises.
