I'm Bond Peter Njoku (NMLS #2670329), a mortgage loan officer serving Lewisville and the rest of Denton County, and conventional loans are a great fit here for buyers with 620+ credit who want a reasonable down payment without FHA's life-of-loan mortgage insurance.

This guide covers conventional loan requirements, down payment options, PMI, and 2026 loan limits for Lewisville. Call or text me at 469-545-7180 if you'd rather skip to the numbers — I'll run your scenario the same day.

Conventional Loan Requirements in Lewisville TX for 2026

Conventional loans follow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines statewide. Here's what you need to qualify in Lewisville in 2026:

• Credit score: 620 minimum; 680+ recommended for the best rate tiers
• Down payment: 3% minimum (HomeReady/Home Possible); 5–10% most common in Lewisville
• Debt-to-income ratio: Generally 43–45% max; up to 50% with compensating factors

• Loan amount: Up to $806,500 (Denton County conforming limit, 2026)

Lewisville has a good mix of newer construction near the lake and established resale neighborhoods closer to I-35E, and conventional financing gives you flexibility across both.

Down Payment Options for Conventional Loans in Lewisville TX

Here's how the math looks on a $350,000 Lewisville home in 2026:

PMI on a conventional loan cancels automatically once you reach 80% loan-to-value based on your original purchase price — a real advantage over FHA's typically permanent mortgage insurance. Most Lewisville buyers I work with put down 5–10%, balancing manageable PMI with keeping cash in reserve.

I also help Lewisville buyers combine down payment assistance with conventional financing where eligible — see my down payment assistance page for what's available.

2026 Conventional Loan Limits in Lewisville TX

Conventional vs. FHA in Lewisville TX — Which Is Right for You?

I model both loan types for every Lewisville buyer. My general rule of thumb for 2026:

• Go conventional if: Credit score 680+, putting down 5% or more, buying a well-maintained home
• Consider FHA if: Credit score 580–639, minimal down payment, or property condition issues
• VA loan if eligible: Always my first recommendation for eligible veterans — $0 down, no PMI

For Lewisville's price range, the PMI-cancellation advantage of conventional financing usually wins out once a buyer clears 680 credit and can put down at least 5%. I'll show you the 10-year cost comparison when we talk.
