Conventional Mortgage Definition
A Conventional Mortgage is a non-governmental loan (So the term does not refer to FHA, VA or other
Government-Assisted Programs) that falls within Fannie Mae guidelines,
and covers loans up to predetermined amount. The current conventional morgage limit is $417,000.
Fannie Mae guidelines allow for Fixed Rate and Adjustable Rate loans of many varieties, though it
excludes Negative Amortization, Interest-Only, Stated Income, No Income No Asset, and other
'Niche' programs that have become popular in recent years.
The term, then, refers to the very
standard and traditional loans most people were familiar with prior to the introduction of such
Niche lending programs.
