The list of challenges facing FHFA include the GSEs’ multifamily business, the Office of Inspector General said in a new report.

The FHLBanks last year agreed to voluntarily raise their contributions to affordable housing programs from 10% of net income to 15%, but they balked at Treasury’s suggestion to increase that to 20%.

Landlords who repeatedly fail to provide tenants the new enterprise protections could be subject to a 0.20% penalty on their original loan amount or even a default.

The mortgage giant announced a non-performing loan sale and the results of its latest STACR tender offer.

FHFA’s proposed rule responds to market trends that have made it difficult for the GSEs to meet their benchmark goals.

Freddie Mac bulletins clarify how single-family sellers should deal with self-employed income and the types of public records searches required for multifamily sellers.

High interest rates may mean lower acquisition volumes for the GSEs, but they also mean slower prepayment speeds for the mortgages in the agencies’ guarantee books of business. (Includes data table.)

S&P Global Ratings gives the Freddie asset management and operations team an “above average” ranking and a stable outlook.

Despite thousands of responses to its RFI, FHFA has settled on a list of protections that is unlikely to make tenants feel much safer.

FHFA issued an RFI on how to simplify and improve the efficiency of the competitive application process for the FHLBanks’ Affordable Housing Programs.
