A conventional loan is a mortgage that is not insured or guaranteed by a government agency such as the FHA, VA, or USDA. It is originated and funded by private lenders and may be conforming or non-conforming.

The debt-to-income ratio (DTI) compares a borrower's monthly debt obligations to their gross monthly income. It is used by lenders to determine how much mortgage a borrower can afford.

In the context of foreclosure, a deed transfers ownership of the foreclosed property to the new owner, typically the buyer at a foreclosure sale.
