A Michigan Conventional Mortgage is a traditional mortgage home loan for prime borrowers. If you have perfect credit or near perfect credit this may be the best type of loan for you.
If you are under 80% LTV (Loan to Value) you will be able to avoid PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance or Mortgage Insurance Premiums). Conventional Mortgages also are perfect for home buyers that are able to contribute a 20% down payment (however many people choose a lesser down payment).

By definition, a Conventional Mortgage Loan is any mortgage that is not guaranteed or insured by the federal government. Typically a conventional mortgage is a home loan that conforms to the standards set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Home loans like a conventional mortgage can be sold on the secondary market as a mortgage backed security (MBS) because they are in the same format as other mortgages. Non-conforming loans are loans that do not meet the standards set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and are usually held as a portfolio loan and not resold.
