A conventional mortgage is a plain-vanilla home loan that’s ideal for borrowers with good or excellent credit. These can carry a fixed rate or carry an adjustable rate. They are offered through private banks and are not backed by government agencies such as the Federal Housing Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Fixed Rate Mortgages (FRM)
The most common type of loan option, the traditional fixed-rate mortgage includes monthly principal and interest payments which never change during the loan’s lifetime.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM)
