Conventional sample rates are for illustration and update during the day. Your rate and APR depend on credit, loan-to-value, loan amount, points, and occupancy; assumptions appear in the table. Not a rate quote, a loan offer, or a commitment to lend. Valley West Mortgage · NMLS #65506 · Equal Housing Lender.

The most flexible loan

Your terms, your way home.

As little as 3% down

Conventional loans start at just 3% down for qualified buyers — you choose how much to put down.

PMI that drops off

Unlike FHA, conventional PMI isn't forever — it falls away automatically as you reach 20% equity.

No upfront MIP

Conventional skips the upfront insurance premium FHA charges — and scales all the way up to jumbo size.

Common questions

Conventional loans, answered.

Qualified buyers can put as little as 3% down. Putting down more lowers your payment and can eliminate PMI from the start — we'll model both so you can choose what fits.
Unlike FHA, conventional PMI isn't permanent. You can request removal at 20% equity, and by law it cancels automatically at 22% equity based on the original value — lowering your payment.
A jumbo loan finances an amount above the annual conforming limit. They have their own credit and reserve requirements — and as a direct Las Vegas lender we price jumbo files in-house, so we stay competitive.
A big bank hands you one rate sheet and a 1-800 number. Valley West lends directly here in Las Vegas — we price your loan in-house, keep underwriting local, and answer the phone when you call. Lower rates, fewer hands in your file, and straight answers from people who know Clark County.
Most conventional purchases in Clark County close in about 30 days from accepted offer, depending on appraisal scheduling, title, and document turnaround.
A wide field of wildflowers in bloom

One application. One local team, lower rates, and a clear path to your strongest conventional option — 3–20% down, no upfront MIP, lower rates.
