Why would a mortgage be considered nonconforming?

  1. It exceeds VA limits

  2. It does not meet Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac standards

  3. It is FHA insured

  4. It requires no down payment

The correct answer is: It does not meet Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac standards

Nonconforming mortgages do not meet the standards set by government-sponsored entities, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Option A is incorrect because VA limits are specific to loans for veterans and do not apply to all mortgages. Option C is incorrect because FHA insured loans do meet the standards set by government entities. Option D is incorrect because a nonconforming mortgage may still require a down payment.
