Fannie Mae Introduces Great New Affordable Mortgage Program! You May Qualify!

Submitted by Patty Massare on Wed, 2016-01-06 17:42

After spending the past few years researching and getting feedback from lenders and home buyers, Fannie Mae announced that it will provide an enhanced affordable lending product designed to be more flexible to meet the financial needs of responsible, credit-worthy buyers. 

The program has new guidelines (like I've never seen before!) to meet the many financial challenges today's would-be homebuyers are facing.  Many can't afford a large down payment, they may have multiple student loans, and/or they may rely on income from non-traditional sources, such as parents or other family members.  These factors have impacted the ability of a lot of people from qualifying for a mortgage.  Well, that may be about to change . . . perhaps for YOU!

The new program, called the HomeReady™ Mortgage, will be available from lenders later this year, and will offer expanded eligibility guidelines that will be real game changers for a lot of people who could not previously qualify for a mortgage.  If any of these new guidelines apply to you, then this may be the year when you realize your dream of homeownship!
