In an uncertain world, it’s good to have things you can count on. A fixed-rate mortgage features stable monthly payments, making it easier to plan your long-term finances.
There’s a reason Conventional Loans have been popular for generations. By spreading out payments over a longer time period, they make homeownership affordable to large numbers of people. At Supreme Lending, we offer a wide range of repayment terms, allowing you to dial in a monthly payment that you can comfortably manage.
- Fixed-rate loans
- Repayment terms of 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years
- Down payments as low as 3% (down payment can be a gift from a family member)
- Loan limit in most U.S. counties is $766,550. In most high-cost areas, the limit is up to $1,149,825. (Buying a more expensive house? See our Jumbo Loans)
- Minimum credit score of 620, in most cases
- Easy application process
- Personal assistance from friendly loan officers
- Annual interest payments on home loans may be tax-deductible; consult your financial counselor

- Excellent choice for many first-time homebuyers
- Low down payments, with a minimum of 3.5% (mortgage insurance is required)

Condo Loans
Looking for a condo lifestyle? We can help you there. Whether you’re looking at a primary residence, vacation home or investment property, Supreme’s condo loans provide the answer.
Warrantable Condos can be financed and underwritten as a conventional mortgage, as long as they meet these requirements:
- No entity can own more than two units in projects consisting of 5-20 units, or 20% of units in projects with 21 or more units
- At least 50% of the units are owner-occupied
- Less than 15% of total units are 60 days or more in arrears on homeowners association (HOA) dues
- The HOA is not named in any lawsuits
- Commercial space accounts for 35% or less of the total building square footage
Non-Warrantable Condos don’t meet the above criteria and are more difficult to buy and sell because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac consider them high-risk. Non-traditional financing is often needed for these types of condos. Contact us for details.

Refinancing an existing loan can leave your finances in a better place. Our Mortgage Professionals will gladly guide you through the fast and easy process.
How can refinancing benefit you? It depends on the details of your current mortgage and your long-term financial goals. But, here are a few common reasons why people come to Supreme Lending to refinance their mortgage:
- Lock-in lower interest rates, which can reduce your interest charges over the life of your loan
- Change the repayment period, which can result in smaller monthly payments
- Eliminate debt more quickly, freeing up money for other needs
- Borrow against the equity you’ve built up in your home, known as “cashing out”, to gain funds for home improvements and other life expenses
