Why Conventional in Irving?

Irving's corporate workforce is well-suited for conventional

Irving is one of DFW's major employment hubs — ExxonMobil, Celanese, Kimberly-Clark, and dozens of global companies have offices in the Las Colinas corridor. That workforce tends to have stable W-2 income, 700+ credit, and the savings for a 10–20% down payment — exactly the profile conventional rewards with low PMI rates and no upfront mortgage insurance.

Irving is in Dallas County, but most Irving addresses are NOT in Dallas city limits — meaning the Dallas DHAP ($60K forgivable DPA) typically doesn't apply here. For Irving buyers, conventional is the clean choice: low cost at 680+ credit, PMI that cancels at 78% LTV, and no program restrictions.

Minimum 620 credit (best rates at 680+)
No upfront mortgage insurance premium
PMI cancels at 78% LTV
2026 Dallas County loan limit: $806,500
Strong fit for Las Colinas corporate workforce

Conventional vs. FHA

Which loan wins for an Irving buyer with 710 credit?

	Conventional	FHA
Purchase price	$350,000	$350,000
Down payment (5%)	$17,500	$17,500
Upfront fee	$0	$5,796 (1.75%, rolled in)
Monthly MI	~$110/mo (PMI)	~$240/mo (MIP)
MI removal	Cancels at 80% LTV	Stays for life if <10% down
5-year MI total	~$6,600	~$20,196 (incl. upfront)

Estimates based on 710 credit, 5% down, 30-yr fixed. Actual rates and MI vary.

At 710 credit on a $350,000 Irving home, the conventional buyer saves $130/month in mortgage insurance. Over 5 years, that's over $13,000 — and conventional PMI eventually cancels while FHA MIP doesn't. For Irving's corporate workforce who typically have 700+ credit, conventional is the natural winner.
