The “OG” of mortgage loans

When you think of mortgage loans - the first thing that comes to mind is likely known as a
Conventional Loan.

It's the most common financing type for a reason because they conform to the standards set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, yet are serviced by private (non-government) lenders.

Happy homeowners

We cannot say enough good things about Midwest Family Lending and Charlie. He made the process of buying our first home easy, even in a crazy market. He was responsive, diligent, and such a pleasure to work with.

Five stars doesn't come close to what he should actually receive.

Anyone looking for a company/mortgage lender, this is it!

Your Questions Answered:

Some amount of money. 😃

For a conventional loan, minimum down payment is 3% of purchase price.

When saving for a down payment, a good goal is at least 5% of your purchase price budget.

We always recommend planning for more when possible. [See sample calculator below.]

Kyle was awesome through the whole process. He was very informative, kind and caring. He took excellent care of us. We will refer friends and family to Midwest Family Lending. Thanks Kyle and Team Chedester!
