GSE Approves Loans in CMG Financial Crowdfunding Pilot

October 6, 2017
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are accepting loans from borrowers who crowdfund their downpayments in a pilot program launched by CMG Financial this month. Geared especially toward millennials, HomeFundMe allows borrowers who take out a loan with the California-based company, to gather individual monetary gifts through their social media and email accounts.
