Trade groups representing smaller nonbank seller/servicers say it’s the larger nondepositories, with nearly 70% of the market, that pose the biggest risk to Fannie and Freddie.

Trade group says FHFA's reproposed rule would serve as a barrier to entry for smaller seller/servicers.

The new requirements would distinguish between large and small servicers and whether that servicing covers GSE loans or Ginnie Mae loans.

When it comes to guarantee fees, some industry participants say they don’t see much policy difference between current FHFA Acting Director Sandra Thompson and her predecessor, Mark Calabria.

The Community Home Lenders Association believe the sharp increase in fees for second-home mortgages will impact middle-income families.

CHLA wants the effective date of the fee hikes delayed until July...

David Stevens, a former FHA commissioner, and an advisor to the Biden presidential campaign, said he was delighted with the nomination.

Trade groups run a victory lap over the Biden administration decision to end Trump-era restrictions on the GSEs.

Ambitious goals in the proposed rule, especially on the multifamily side, may prove difficult for the GSEs to reach.

Lenders argue that Thompson should focus on reversing unpopular policies initiated when Mark Calabria was FHFA director. They point to unvetted credit requirements and the product caps included in the PSPAs.
