The lowest mortgage rates are offered by private lenders though they may use various government programs for the specific mortgage loan. The government does not actually make mortgage loans, though government sponsored enterprises such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae purchase the loans later from banks which actually make the loans.
Government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) in the mortgage market are the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"). The GSEs facilitate liquidity in the mortgage markets by purchasing conforming mortgages from lenders, securitizing them, and onselling them into the secondary financial markets. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are both privately owned corporations, with an implicit government guarantee. This means that if they become insolvent, the US Government is very likely to step in. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae hold almost 20% of the mortgages in the market. Ginnie Mae is a wholly owned government enterprise, established in the late 1960's to facilitate home ownership by low to moderate income families.
A jumbo home mortgage loan is one that is over the standard loan limits set by government sponsored lenders such as Freddie Mac. The biggest advantage to this type of loan is the borrower is allowed to borrow more and is able to purchase a more expensive house.
Not sure what you mean by "federal mortgage loans," but two possibilities are: Veterans Administration (VA) loans that are made by local lenders/mortgage companies and guaranteed by the federal government; and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans that are made by local lenders/mortgage companies and insured by the federal government. Also, the USDA offers subsidized loans to farmers and low-income homeowners in rural areas. Other possibilities are Federal National Mortgage Association (FannieMae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FreddieMac). They are considered Government-sponsored Enterprises. They purchase mortgage loans that are made by local lenders/mortgage companies.
They represent products offered by the largest financial institutions that are indirectly supported by government sponsored secondary market institutions, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
