Where Conventional Shines

Conventional loans are not insured by a government agency, which gives them broader flexibility around property type and borrower profile. For Utah borrowers with stronger credit and stable income, conventional often offers the best long-term picture — particularly because private mortgage insurance on a conventional loan can come off once you reach the required equity, unlike many current FHA loans.

Conventional financing supports single-family homes, approved condos, multi-unit primary residences, second homes, and investment properties. Down payments can start as low as 3 percent for qualified buyers on certain programs, although larger down payments unlock better pricing in many cases.

Tom always compares conventional with the government programs that could fit your situation. The "best" loan is not a single product. It is the program that fits your file, your goals, and your timeline.
