Best Answer

The main difference between Fannie Mae (FNMA; Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC; Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) is that Fannie May primarily buys mortgages issued by banks and Freddie Mac primarily buys mortgages issued by thrifts.

A secondary difference between the two is that Fannie Mae started in 1938 as part of the "New Deal" and Freddie Mac started in 1970 in order to create competition in the secondary mortgage market.
