Many borrowers choose to finance their home purchase with a conventional loan. These mortgages have fewer restrictions placed on them than FHA loans, which are backed by the government. Homebuyers with a minimum of 5% down may qualify for a conventional loan, and those who are able to put down 20% or more will also be able to avoid paying Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). Conventional loans include both fixed and adjustable interest rates and the length of the payment term can vary greatly.
