Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac Mortgage Guidelines

What are the Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac Mortgage Guidelines

There are two types of traditional home mortgages:

  • Government Loans (FHA, VA, USDA)
  • Conventional Loans

Government Versus Conventional Loans

Government Loans are insured and partially guaranteed by a government agency. FHA, VA, USDA Loans are the three government loans in today’s market.

  • FHA, VA, USDA does not originate, process, underwrite, nor funds government loans
  • Private lenders are the institutions that originate and fund government loans
  • However, if the lender followed agency guidelines on government loans, the government agency will partially insure lenders in the event borrowers default and the loan forecloses
  • Conventional Loans are not backed by any government agency
  • Conventional loans are often called conforming loans
  • This is because conforming loans need to conform to Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac Guidelines
  • Conventional lenders want to re-sell the conventional loans they originate and fund to relieve their warehouse lines of credit
  • This is the main reason why lenders need conventional loans to conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Guidelines

If the conventional loans do not conform to Fannie/Freddie Guidelines, then Fannie/Freddie will not purchase the loans.
