Conforming loans Mortgage loans that meet the qualifications of Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which are bought from lenders and issued as pass-through securities. Conforming Loans A mortgage loan that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are allowed to buy. These organizations buy mortgages from the original lenders so as to reduce risk to the lenders and thereby maintain a smooth flow of mortgage credit. Conforming loans must meet certain guidelines. Included among these guidelines are requirements such as maximum debt-to-income ratio for the property owner, but the most important rule states that neither organization may buy a loan over a certain amount. This amount changes every year according to changes in the median home price. See also: Jumbo loan, Mortgage-backed security. How to thank TFD for its existence?
