“Late last week, Freddie Mac announced it would be extending its appraisal-free mortgage program to purchase loans starting September 1, 2017. Fannie Mae’s announcement quickly followed, offering its product effective immediately.”

Waiting for a full appraisal definitely slows the loan process down. But thanks to these new developments, we can close certain purchase loans in 7 days!
Criteria include that the property is owner-occupied and single family residence, and that the loan be less than 80% loan to value (LTV).
A fast closing is definitely an advantage when putting in an offer. Contact one our Loan Officers to see if you would qualify for such a lightening fast purchase loan.

New Fannie Mae guidelines will potentially help those with high debt. As long as the borrower’s debt to income ratio (DTI) isn’t above 50% and they have other positive factors, they could be approved for an affordable Fannie Mae mortgage.

“But here’s some good news: The country’s largest source of mortgage money, Fannie Mae, soon plans to ease its debt-to-income (DTI) requirements, potentially opening the door to home-purchase mortgages for large numbers of new buyers. Fannie will be raising its DTI ceiling from the current 45 percent to 50 percent as of July 29.”
