Conventional Home Loans with Adam Bartling

Looking for a Conventional Home Loan in Texas that balances flexibility, competitive rates, and fewer constraints? At Bartling Lending, brokered by Adam Bartling, we offer conventional mortgages that follow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines — giving you access to great terms without government-backed restrictions. 


What Is a Conventional Home Loan?

A conventional loan is a mortgage not insured or guaranteed by government programs (FHA, VA, USDA). These are backed by private lenders under rules set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Because they’re not tied to government insurance, they often come with more flexibility, especially for borrowers who meet certain credit and financial benchmark requirements. 


Why Choose a Conventional Loan with Bartling Lending?

  • Competitive Interest Rates & Terms – For qualified borrowers (strong credit, good DTI, etc.), conventional loans can deliver lower rates and more favorable terms than many insured loans.
     
  • Lower Down Payment Options – First-time homebuyers may qualify for as little as 3-5% down payments, depending on the program and credit strength.
     
  • No Mortgage Insurance (PMI) or Remove It Early – If you put down 20% or more, or build equity over time, you may avoid or later eliminate private mortgage insurance, reducing monthly costs.
     
  • Variety of Loan Terms – Fixed-rate loans (15- or 30-year), adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) that start fixed and adjust later — so you can choose what works best based on how long you plan to stay in the home.

Tips for Qualifying for the Best Conventional Loan Rates in Texas


Improve Your Credit Score

Aim for a score of 740+ to qualify for the best interest rates. Pay down credit card balances, avoid new credit applications, and resolve any credit report errors.


Save for a Larger Down Payment

A 20% down payment allows you to avoid PMI altogether, resulting in lower monthly payments and potentially better interest rates.


Reduce Your Debt-to-Income Ratio

Pay down existing debts to improve your DTI ratio, making you more attractive to lenders and potentially qualifying you for better loan terms.
