Conventional Home Loans: Financing a Home Simplified for HomeBuyers

Whether you’re exploring a primary home, vacation home, or long‑term rental in the Ocean City area, this guide is designed to jump‑start your research so you understand how conventional financing works, what to expect during approval, and how to use these loans in a long‑term real estate investment plan.

In this blog, you’ll get a practical overview of how a conventional home loan can support you as a homebuyer or investor. We’ll look at how down payments, credit scores, and property type shape your options so you know what’s realistic for your situation, and how lenders treat primary residences, second homes, and investment properties differently—and why that matters for your strategy.
