COMMON QUESTIONS · NMLS #65506
Discover the Straight Answers.
Common Las Vegas conventional loan questions: minimum down payment is 3% for first-time buyers on Fannie Mae HomeReady or Freddie Mac HomePossible; PMI auto-cancels at 78% LTV per the Homeowners Protection Act; Clark County 2026 conforming limit is $806,500 (jumbo above). Valley West Mortgage NMLS #65506 — Vatche Saatdjian, principal broker — answers every Nevada file personally.
The floor is 620. Pricing improves at 660, jumps again at 720, and hits its sharpest tier at 760+. We see your file across every lender pricing engine, so you will know exactly what the next ten points of credit would buy you.
No. Conventional loans go down to 3% via Fannie Mae HomeReady or Freddie Mac Home Possible. At less than 20% down, PMI applies — but it falls off automatically at 78% LTV. 20% down means zero PMI from day one.
Automatically at 78% loan-to-value, based on the original amortization schedule. You can request earlier removal at 80% LTV once you have paid down or appreciated to that point. This is the single biggest reason conventional usually wins on long-term cost.
Once your loan exceeds the $806,500 Clark County 2026 conforming limit. Common scenarios: Summerlin Ridges estates, Anthem Highlands, The Lakes lakefront homes, Henderson MacDonald Highlands. We have a dedicated jumbo desk for files up to $3M.
FHFA's 2026 baseline conforming limit in Clark County is $806,500 for a one-unit property. Anything above is jumbo. We pull the live county figure when we run your file.
Our average is 21 days on a Conv purchase — 9 days faster than the national 30-day average. Refis run 21-28 days. We order the appraisal day one and ride it; the appraiser calendar is almost always the bottleneck, not us.
Break-even is your total refi closing costs divided by the new monthly savings — the month you cross zero. We refi when the break-even is under 24 months and you plan to stay 36+. We show the math file-side: old PI vs new PI, costs, the month the swap pays for itself.
Quick answer
Conventional loans require 3% down minimum, a 620 credit score, and PMI when down payment is under 20%. PMI auto-removes at 78% LTV per federal law. Conforming limit in Clark County, NV for 2026 is $806,500 — loans above that are jumbo.
