Conventional

A conventional mortgage loan is a conforming mortgage that is eligible for purchase by Fannie Mae (FNMA) or Freddie Mac (FHLMC). Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), whose sole purpose is to provide affordable lending and liquidity to the mortgage market. Conventional Mortgages are not insured or guaranteed by the federal government.

GSEs only buy loans such as fixed-rate and ARM mortgages that “conform” to their established loan guidelines. In general, the credit, income, down payment and loan amounts of these conforming loans comply with certain pre-determined standards.

• Conventional Mortgage Requirements

• Loans must meet current conforming loan limits

• Borrowers must meet minimum credit score requirements

• Borrowers must meet debt and income guidelines

• Mortgage Insurance (MI) is typically required on any loan with a loan to value greater than 80%
