The main home loan types at a glance

Conventional loans are not insured by a government agency and usually follow guidelines from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and can help buyers rebuilding credit. VA loans are backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible service members, veterans and some surviving spouses.

USDA loans serve eligible rural areas and income-eligible households. Jumbo loans exceed the conforming loan limit that FHFA sets each year. Construction and renovation loans finance building a home or improving one. Each has its own rules, and programs vary by borrower, property and investor.

Which loan fits your situation

Start with your strongest qualifier. Military service points first toward VA loans. A property in an eligible rural area points toward USDA. A credit history that is still being rebuilt often points toward FHA, while solid credit and steady income may make a conventional loan attractive.

Then layer in your project. If the price is high, ask about jumbo options. If you are building on land, ask about construction financing. If the house needs work, ask about renovation loans or using a separate home equity product later. Many borrowers qualify for more than one path, so compare at least two.

Who this tends to fit

  • You are not sure where to start and want a simple decision guide

Local offices and Virginia rules to know

Virginia's state housing finance agency is Virginia Housing. Its homebuyer programs include Conventional first mortgage (bond and non-bond), FHA first mortgage (bond and non-bond), VA first mortgage (bond and non-bond). These programs work through participating lenders and have their own eligibility rules. See our Virginia first-time buyer programs guide.

Narrowing your options in Lansdowne

A short list makes the decision manageable. Write down your goals, such as keeping upfront cash modest, avoiding mortgage insurance or financing repairs, and rank them. Then ask a lender which loan types line up with your top priorities.

Property type matters too. Condos, manufactured homes and multi-unit buildings each face different rules across programs. Bring the listing or address to your first conversation so the lender can flag any property issues early. That keeps your search focused on loans you may qualify for. It also saves time if a program turns out to be a poor match.

Before you call

  • How long you expect to stay in the home
  • Any plans to build, renovate or repair after purchase
  • Whether you have military service, and your discharge paperwork if so
  • The property type: single-family, condo, multi-unit or manufactured
  • Your rough price range and the areas where you are shopping

Questions Lansdowne borrowers ask about home loans

Should I choose a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan?

A fixed-rate loan keeps the same interest rate for the life of the loan, which makes budgeting predictable. An adjustable-rate loan starts with a fixed period and then adjusts at set intervals based on a market index. Which one fits depends on how long you plan to stay and how comfortable you are with possible payment changes.

Can I finance home repairs as part of my mortgage?

Yes. Renovation loans such as the FHA 203(k) and certain conventional renovation programs let you roll repair or remodel costs into your purchase or refinance. You will typically need contractor bids and a plan for the work. Another route is buying with a standard loan and later using a home equity loan or line of credit.

Does the property type affect which loan I can get?

It can. Condos may need to meet project approval rules for certain programs, manufactured homes have specific requirements, and multi-unit properties are treated differently from single-family homes. USDA loans require an eligible rural location. Share the property address or listing with your lender early so any property issues come up before you are under contract.

What is the difference between a conventional loan and a government-backed loan?

A conventional loan is not insured or guaranteed by a federal agency and usually follows Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines. Government-backed loans include FHA loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration, VA loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and USDA loans backed by USDA Rural Development. Government backing can open doors for borrowers who might not fit conventional guidelines.
