A conventional loan is the standard, not backed by a government program and priced on your credit, your down payment, and the property. Put down twenty percent and there is no mortgage insurance at all. Put down less and there is, but it comes off once you have enough equity, which is the part people miss. Fixed and adjustable structures both live inside conventional lending, which is why this is one page rather than two products.
