Fannie and Freddie have updated rules around employment contracts, shared appreciation and fluctuating income.

Servicers should see several enhancements to Freddie’s Resolve platform and its APIs, including a dashboard they can use to manage their pipeline and track charge-offs.

Freddie CAO describes the lexicon of an objective appraisal. He discourages the use of subjective language terminology such as “desirable” or “family friendly.”

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac released details on FHFA’s new policy of extending natural disaster-related reps-and-warranty relief to mortgagees impacted by the pandemic.

If FHFA follows through on the shift from the tri-merge to a bi-merge system, two million borrowers currently eligible for a GSE mortgage would no longer qualify, according to a report from TransUnion.

Documents show FHFA entered into 36 settlement agreements between January 2019 and September 2021 to resolve employee disputes.

Freddie takes steps to ensure its older multifamily housing stock is in adequate repair. This is particularly crucial for properties in affordable housing programs.

An audit by FHFA’s Office of Inspector General found that the agency’s Office of Housing and Regulatory Policy hasn’t conducted adequate oversight of the new reports.

Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have eased the rules that limit the use of rental income to qualify for a mortgage.

Market dynamics tied to the pandemic cut nonperforming loan sales at the GSEs by more than 66%. Fannie Mae accounted for almost all of the sales.
