A conventional loan is a mortgage that is not insured by a government agency. It is the most common loan type for borrowers with solid credit, and down payments start as low as 3% for qualifying first-time buyers.
With 20% down, conventional borrowers avoid private mortgage insurance entirely — and when PMI is required, it automatically ends once sufficient equity is reached.
