A Conventional loan or Conforming loan is a term used for loans that follow guidelines and conditions set by government sponsored entities (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae). These loans are not guaranteed by a government agency such as FHA or VA. Conforming loans are limited to $417,000 and can be fixed, adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs), balloons or buydown programs.
