Home loans seem complicated at first, but when you break them down into simpler terms and speak to someone who can help you, they don’t seem so bad. With a broker's help, you can figure out your mortgage and be sure that you're making the right choice for your personal needs.
What Is a Conforming Loan?
Conforming loans must meet the requirements of both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
- Fannie Mae (FNMA): The Federal National Mortgage Association:
- Freddie Mac (FHLMC): The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
Which loan should I take out, a conforming or a conventional?
There are a few different types of mortgages: government-backed and not government-backed. Conforming loans are subject to government regulation, meaning they're backed by the government and follow Federal Housing Finance Agency rules. They depend on your income & type of property to determine the amount of mortgage you can afford.
When it comes to mortgages and home loans, there are two types of loans that are in common use: conventional and conforming. Conventional mortgages are any type of home loan that is not from the government.
