At Arnaiz Mortgage, we help Arizona homebuyers and homeowners secure conventional loans that fit their unique financial goals. Whether you’re purchasing a home in Phoenix, refinancing in Tucson, or investing in property in Flagstaff, our team provides expert guidance on the full range of conventional mortgage options.
Conventional loans are a popular choice for borrowers who want flexibility, competitive rates, and the ability to avoid government-backed mortgage insurance requirements when possible. With local Arizona expertise and access to multiple lending partners, we ensure you get a solution tailored to your needs.
Why Choose a Conventional Loan?
Conventional loans are not insured by the FHA or VA, which gives lenders more flexibility and often allows borrowers to avoid some fees associated with government-backed mortgages. Key benefits include:
- Lower Overall Costs for Qualified Borrowers – If you can make a 20% down payment, you may avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI).
- Higher Loan Limits in Some Markets – Conventional loan limits vary by county, which can help buyers in higher-priced areas access more funding.
- Flexible Terms – Choose from fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), and a variety of term lengths (15, 20, 30 years).
- Investment and Second Home Options – Conventional loans can be used for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties (subject to stricter qualifications).
For Arizona homebuyers who meet credit and income requirements, conventional loans can be a cost-effective, flexible path to homeownership.
Arizona Conventional Loan Requirements & 2026 Limits
While requirements vary by lender, the general guidelines for conventional loans in Arizona include:
- Credit Score – Most lenders require a minimum of 620, though higher scores yield better rates.
- Down Payment – Typically 5%–20% depending on loan program and property type.
- Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI) – Maximum DTI often ranges between 43%–50%, depending on compensating factors.
- Primary Residence, Second Home, or Investment Property – Conventional loans are versatile but may require higher down payments for non-primary residences.
- Mortgage Insurance (PMI) – Required for down payments under 20%, with options to cancel once you reach 20% equity.
Our team helps Arizona borrowers evaluate their options, understand PMI implications, and select the loan that works best for their budget and long-term goals.
