Conforming means the loan meets Fannie Mae guidelines. Non-conforming means it’s doesn’t.

Fannie Mae is the secondary mkt. that buys these loans.

Hi,

I am new and am learning about duplexes. Can someone explain the difference, briefly, between non-conforming and conforming?

Thanks,
KDF

I think you want an answer about conforming duplexes?

A conforming duplex is zoned as a duplex or multi-family and the tax assessor knows it is a duplex. A non-conforming duplex is not recorded at the assessor’s office as a duplex, or the property is not zoned for a duplex or multi-family.
