Question 1

What is the conforming loan limit in San Bernardino County?

San Bernardino County follows the standard conforming limit set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Most Adelanto home purchases fall comfortably within that limit.

Question 2

Do I need 20% down for a conforming loan in Adelanto?

No. You can put as little as 3% down. But under 20%, you'll pay private mortgage insurance until you reach enough equity.

Question 3

What credit score gets me the best conforming rate?

Accepted Answer

740 and above puts you in the best pricing tier. You can qualify at 620, but you'll pay more for it.

Question 4

Is a conforming loan better than FHA for Adelanto buyers?

Accepted Answer

Bankrate's latest lender survey shows conforming rates around 6.27%. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions, so your number could differ.
