Florida Conforming Mortgage Loans

Understanding what is a 'conforming mortgage loan', let us start in layman's terms for the state of Florida (and most states). It is a mortgage loan less than $417,001 and meets all the standard criteria for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The criteria is set by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) who regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

So what does that mean to you the consumer, well, when you go to a bank or lender and ask to borrow money to purchase or refinance your home. The bank or lender will look to see if you can meet the criteria for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

Since the banks or lenders may only have so much money to lend they look for someone to purchase that mortgage loan from them. However they may keep the servicing* of that mortgage loan. If you the consumer do not meet the criteria and the Bank or Lender gives you the loan. The Bank or Lender may have to keep that loan in house leaving them with a greater risk and having less funds to lend to others. Most Banks and Lenders when faced with a Borrower that cannot meet the criteria for conforming may deny a Borrower for the mortgage loan.

At Solutions First Mortgage Inc. we want to do our best to make sure you can meet this criteria before you go paying over $1000 for appraisals, surveys, pest inspections and home inspections only to be denied shortly after.
