Why this matters
Think conventional loans are only for buyers with perfect credit and 20% down? Think again. Tara walks through what most buyers and even agents don't know about today's conventional financing options—low down payment programs, flexible credit guidelines, and creative structures that make conventional the right fit more often than you'd expect.
Key takeaways
Conventional financing can work with less than 20% down in many common scenarios.
Program selection should be based on the full buyer profile, not assumptions about credit or down payment alone.
Creative conventional structures can sometimes beat the obvious loan choice.
