Definition: 

A conventional mortgage is a mortgage loan that is a loan secured by a real property through the use of a mortgage note which evidences the existence of the loan and encumbrance of that realty

through the granting of a mortgage which secures the loan.

When you apply for a conventional loan there are fees and additional costs associated with it. These fees vary depending on the mortgage lender (closing costs).

Conventional loans are not insured by the federal government such as VA and FHA loans. Conventional loans have guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They have strict guidelines; such as credit and income requirements. Most conventional mortgages require that you repay the loan in full at a fixed interest rate over a 30 year period. Shorter repayments are also available. If you have great credit and steady income conventional loans often offer lower interest rates. By having a lower interest rate you can lower your monthly payments and the amount you will need to repay over the life of the loan. If the Loan to Value ratio exceeds 80% on a conventional mortgage private mortgage insurance will be required.
