Fannie Mae’s DU 10.0 Update on Multiple Financed Properties Explained

Written By: Angelique Jackson, Op-Ed Ghost Writer

On March 29, 2016 Fannie Mae issued an updated regarding DU 10.0 and Multiple Financed Properties. Previously, we lenders had to manually calculate the reserve requirements because DU did not provide that information. Well, that will all change the weekend of June 25, 2016. DU will now calculate the number of financed properties the borrower has and calculate the reserves for both the subject property and the “Other financed properties.” But before we get into the calculations for the total number of financed properties and reserves, let’s talk about the multiple finance property rule and when it applies.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Blinked?

Written By: Glenn Michaels

Recently I wrote an article inquiring and asking if Hurricane Sandy Victims were going to be victims again. The information is somewhat favorable for more than 38,000 mortgagors who reside in areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Previously it was pointed out that more than 38,000 mortgagors received six month forbearance agreements from their mortgage servicers for mortgages owned by Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).

Review of the Fannie Mae HomePath Financing Program

Written By: Stacey Sprain

Review of the Fannie Mae HomePath Financing Program. I’ve seen a lot of press and advertising on the latest Fannie Mae home loan program so, I thought I would do some research to see what I could learn about the program. What I found very odd was that I was able to find very little product information on the HomePath program even with a major effort digging to find information.
