Home loans sound like they’re confusing, but the truth is things are just made complicated with confusing terms and poor customer service. With the help of a broker, you can make sense of your home loan situation and be confident that you’ve made the right choice for your personal needs.
What Is a Conforming Loan?
The definition of conforming loans is that they conform to both Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's guidelines.
- Fannie Mae (FNMA): The Federal National Mortgage Association:
- Freddie Mac (FHLMC): The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
Conforming Loan Versus a Conventional Loan?
All mortgage loans fall into one of two categories: government-backed and not government-backed. Conforming loans are backed by the government and follow federal housing finance agency rules (abbreviated as FHFA) in terms of property type & repayment abilities dependent on your income.
Conventional and conforming loans overlap because they share some features. Conventional mortgages are any type of home loan that is not from the government.
