Conventional Loans
Conventional Loans are part of our most popular products at AmeriCasa, and we aim to inform you about all of them to find the one that is best for you. To qualify for a Conventional Loan buyers need to have a good credit, savings and the ability to put down a larger payment. With 20% down, a borrower avoids Mortgage Insurance costs associated with other loans, therefore saving money in the long term. We recommend this type of program for looking to purchase a second home.
This are some of the advantages of a Conventional Loan:
- Easy approval process based on automated underwriting system findings.
- 1 year taxes allowed.
- Ability to have a single pay or monthly on mortgage insurance, or lender paid.
- Most condos qualify and depending on down payment allow a limited review.
- You can remove the Mortgage Insurance after proof of equity of 20%.

What is a Conventional Loan?
A conventional loan meets certain guidelines as set forth by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The best-known of these guidelines is the size of the loan; in most counties in the United States, the current maximum size of a conventional loan is $484,350, though super-conforming loans with higher price limits are available in more expensive counties.
