Los Angeles, CA; 22, May 2015: Conventional mortgage loans are commonly referred to as conforming and non-conforming loans, depending on the amount of the loan and the conforming limits in the borrower’s county. Conventional loans usually require proof of income and down payments of at least 5% for a purchase, and 10% equity for a refinance.
Conforming Loans
A conventional mortgage loan is said to be conforming when the loan amount is less than $417,000 – $729,750 depending on the borrower’s county. The conforming loan limits vary depending on the county and the relative cost of living. For example, in San Francisco, the relative cost of living is high, and the maximum conforming loan limit figure is $729,750. Any borrowers interested in a loan should talk to an experienced loan agent about conforming loan limits and rates available for a purchase or a refinance.
Non-Conforming Loans
Non-conforming loans refer to conventional mortgage loans that surpass the conforming loan limit in the borrower’s county. These loans are also classified as conventional loans, however, lenders may sometimes refer to them as either “high value” or “jumbo” loans depending on the loan amount. These loans are generally available with slightly higher interest rates compared to the rates of conforming loans. Any borrowers interested in a loan should talk to an experienced loan agent about non-conforming loan limits and rates available for a purchase or a refinance.
Features of Conventional Loans
Many lenders offer low down payment loans, but usually require mortgage insurance premiums, especially with a down payment less than 20%. Some lenders will not require mortgage insurance premiums with low down payments, but it depends on the lender’s guidelines and rates. Conventional loans are offered by retail lenders such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase or Citi Bank; but there are many wholesale lenders that offer lower rates and more personal service.
