FNMA & FHLMC Mortgages
FNMA & FHLMC mortgage programs are the most popular options available primarily due to the added convenience of an automated underwriting systems (AUS). Desktop Underwriter (DU) is FNMA’s version of AUS, and Loan Prospect Advisor (LPA) is FHLMC’s version of AUS. The AUS increases approvals and typically allow for less stringent documentation. For instance, Approve/Eligible findings may offer an appraisal waiver as well as reduced income and asset documentation for verification. In addition, conventional loan programs allow for low down payments with lower mortgage insurance (MI) premium requirements than competing government programs such as FHA.
