Traditional conventional financing following standard Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac guidelines.
Conventional loans follow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines, which makes them the most widely available financing in the country.
They offer fixed and adjustable options and work for nearly every property type and occupancy.
We price your loan across multiple lenders so the same guidelines come with the best terms available to you.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy conventional loans up to a limit the Federal Housing Finance Agency sets for each county. For a one-unit home in Cameron County, the 2026 conforming limit is $832,750. A larger loan is a jumbo loan, with its own guidelines.
For context, the median value of owner-occupied homes in Brownsville is $139,900, according to the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey.
A conventional loan can finance a primary home, a second home or an investment property.
Every borrower’s situation is different, so the right next step is a conversation about your income, savings and timeline.
