Conventional Loans in California
A conventional loan is a loan that is not guaranteed or insured by the federal government under the Veterans Administration (VA) the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), or the Rural Housing Service (RHS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture or USDA (we also do these kinds of loans)
Conforming Conventional Loan follows the guidelines and maximum loan amount of government sponsored enterprises (GSE’s) such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. In simple language they are also sold to two companies owned by the United States Federal Government. Though the US government hopes to make these GSE's private or publicly traded entities again, making them turn a profit is another story. The rules of the GSE's are stricter for banks than for a mortgage banker like myself, these guidelines are called bank overlays
