A conventional mortgage is a common loan type in Draper. The median home price snapshot we use is $640,000; confirm whether that sits under the current FHFA conforming limit for the property county. Credit, down payment, and DTI overlays decide pricing. PMI on conventional can often be removed with enough equity, unlike typical FHA MIP on low-down files. For Draper buyers, conventional terms still depend on the file, from 15-year options that build equity faster to 30-year terms that keep the payment lower.
Draper sits at the south end of Salt Lake County, close to Silicon Slopes offices and Corner Canyon recreation. Morning commutes to Lehi tech campuses run 15–20 minutes on I-15. Corner Canyon trails draw mountain bikers and trail runners daily, the network connects to BST for 50+ miles of ridgeline paths. Weekends include brunch at local cafes along 12300 South, Cowabunga Bay waterpark, and evening strolls through Draper City Park. CrossFit gyms, climbing gyms, and yoga studios sit along the commercial corridors.

The minimum down payment is 3% for first-time homebuyers through programs like Conventional 97 or HomeReady, and 5% for most other borrowers. Putting 20% or more down eliminates private mortgage insurance entirely. For an investment property, expect a minimum of 15–25% down. We help you weigh the tradeoffs between a lower down payment (preserving cash) and a higher down payment (lower monthly payments and no PMI).
Conventional loans have no upfront mortgage insurance premium, PMI cancels automatically at 78% LTV (FHA MIP is permanent on most loans), higher loan limits in many Utah counties, and no FHA-specific property condition requirements. However, FHA loans have more flexible credit requirements and lower down payment minimums. If you have a credit score above 680 and can put at least 5% down, conventional is typically the better long-term value.
Conventional loans are a common path for investment properties. Down payment, occupancy, and pricing differ from a primary residence. We will not publish a promised rate markup.
Most conventional programs start around a 620 score, with overlays often higher. Higher scores often improve pricing, but there is no single “best rate” score. Scores between 620 and 700 can still fit some files with different PMI or pricing. That is not a promise of approval.
