Conventional loans are any mortgage that is not guaranteed or insured by the federal government. Although a conventional loan is not insured or guaranteed by the government, it still follows the guidelines of government-sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Conventional loans may be “conforming” and “non-conforming”. Conforming loans follow the guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These guidelines put the maximum purchase amount for a first mortgage at $647,200 for a single-family dwelling. If the purchase is for a property that is either a two-family, three-family, or four-family dwelling, larger values apply before the loan is no longer considered a conventional loan. There are a few simple steps that are required for all conventional loans, from first-time homebuyers to seasoned real estate investors, the process is equal and regulated for all. Once you begin the process your local Mortgage Loan Officer and Lender will take control and guide you through the process as required by law.
