Conventional Loans in Las Vegas

 

Conventional loans offer competitive rates, customizable options, and no government backing — perfect for buyers with strong credit

What Is a Conventional Loan?

A conventional mortgage is any home loan that isn’t backed by the federal government. This sets it apart from FHA, VA, and USDA loans, which are government-insured or guaranteed. Instead, conventional loans are offered and serviced by private lenders like V.I.P. Mortgage.

These loans can be conforming (meeting guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) or non-conforming (such as jumbo loans).

Conventional Loan benefits

If you have strong credit, steady income, and the ability to make a larger down payment, a conventional loan may offer key advantages:

Lower interest rates for borrowers with high credit scores

Flexible mortgage insurance options (with potential to cancel PMI once you hit 20% equity)

Customizable loan terms, from 10 to 30 years
Fewer upfront costs and restrictions compared to government-backed loans

popular Conventional Loan Programs

Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

An ARM begins with a lower introductory rate and adjusts periodically based on the market. This option is great for short-term homeowners or those expecting a future income increase.

  • Lower initial monthly payments

  • Great for buyers who plan to sell or refinance within a few years

Fixed-Rate Mortgage

A fixed-rate mortgage offers long-term peace of mind with an interest rate that stays the same for the entire loan term. Whether you choose a 15-year or 30-year fixed loan, your monthly principal and interest payments will never change. Ideal if you’re planning to stay in your home long-term.

  • Build equity faster with shorter terms

  • Protects against market interest rate increases

Jumbo Mortgage

For homebuyers in higher-priced markets like Las Vegas, a jumbo loan enables you to purchase a home that exceeds conforming loan limits. These loans are perfect for buyers with strong financial profiles who need more borrowing power.

  • Loan Amounts above $806,500 in Clark County

  • Competitive rates for qualified borrowers
