A
conforming loan refers to a type of loan that meets specific guidelines set by government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These guidelines usually include requirements regarding the loan size, borrower's creditworthiness, and property type, among other factors. Essentially, a
conforming loan is a loan that meets the criteria established by these organizations, making it easier for lenders to sell these loans on the secondary mortgage market.
