Conventional loans are not underwritten by a federal agency but
are insured by private investors. Borrower qualification for a conventional
loan is more stringent than for FHA or VA loans. A buyer's maximum
house payment (PITI) for a conventional loan is generally 25 to
28 percent of gross monthly income. Total debts cannot exceed 33
to 36 percent, which includes the mortgage payment.
Historically, the loan-to-value ratio (LTV) on a conventional loan
has been 80% or less of the value of the property, which is quite
a bit lower than FHA and VA loans. FHA insures loans up to 97 percent
and VA loans insures up to 100 percent, requiring little or no money
down.
For example: If a property is valued at $100,000 secured by a $80,000
loan then the LTV is 80 percent.
