Why Conventional in Fort Worth?

Fort Worth's diverse market rewards conventional buyers with strong credit

Fort Worth is one of the fastest-growing cities in the US, with neighborhoods spanning every price point. For move-up buyers in Aledo, Benbrook, or near TCU — and for professionals working in the medical district or Alliance corridor — conventional financing at 680+ credit delivers the best monthly economics: lower PMI than FHA, no upfront insurance premium, and PMI that eventually cancels as home equity grows.

Fort Worth's HAP program (up to $25K forgivable) is generally paired with FHA for first-time buyers. If you're a first-time buyer, I'll model FHA+HAP vs. conventional side-by-side so you see which saves more over your specific hold period. Many Fort Worth buyers with 680+ credit find conventional wins even without the HAP, depending on how long they plan to stay in the home.

Which loan wins for a Fort Worth buyer with 700 credit?

	Conventional	FHA
Purchase price	$340,000	$340,000
Down payment (5%)	$17,000	$17,000

Estimates based on 700 credit, 5% down, 30-yr fixed. Actual rates and MI vary.

At 700 credit on a $340,000 Fort Worth home, the conventional buyer saves $123/month and over $13,000 over 5 years in mortgage insurance costs — and PMI eventually cancels. The Fort Worth HAP ($25K) can shift the math for first-time buyers. I'll model both paths so you pick the one that actually saves more for your situation.
