3 Who is Fannie Mae? Founded in 1938
A leading source of non-government financing for mortgage lenders, so that they can enable Americans to buy and rent homes A United States government-sponsored enterprise (GSE), similar to Freddie Mac but different from HUD, VA or USDA Rural Development Single-Family Duty to Serve Team Update

4 Who Is Fannie Mae? Fannie Mae’s mission is to expand homeownership.
Fannie Mae is dedicated and committed to expanding homeownership in tribal communities and overcome barriers to provide capital on tribal lands. We firmly believe that our housing finance system can and must do more to ensure that all homeowners have an equal opportunity to obtain affordable mortgage financing. Among AIAN households in tribal areas, there is a strong and as yet unmet demand for homeownership. Options for mortgage financing are limited due to land complexities. Prepared by: Kellie Coffey

5 Why Homeownership? Homeownership creates stable housing and is fundamental to good health, educational achievement, employment stability and many other basic needs. For American Indians, it is that plus so much more; a home on your ancestral lands equals family, celebration and feast. Homeownership is a cultural, spiritual and emotional connection to the home, the people and the land. Single-Family Duty to Serve Team Update

6 Where does Fannie Mae fit into the home-buying process?
They borrow money from a lender. . . The House People who want to buy a house Mortgage Lender They went to the bank, signed a bunch of papers, borrowed the money, and bought the house. The house costs $200,000. They have $6,000 (3%) for the down payment, so they need to borrow $194,000. . . . and then buy the house . . . View in presentation mode . . . and then each month they send mortgage payment to the bank. Home-Buying Myths Debunked | June 24, 2017

7 Yes, it will, and Fannie Mae helps solve this problem.
Where does Fannie Mae fit into the home-buying process? The bank just loaned $194,000 from its reserve. What if it wants to do another loan? And another loan? And 1,000 more loans? And 50,000 more loans? At some point it will run out of money, right? Yes, it will, and Fannie Mae helps solve this problem.

21 Future Work Under Duty to Serve – Manufactured Housing Titled as Personal Property (Chattel)
Manufactured housing titled as personal property (chattel) makes up the majority of manufactured housing in the U.S. However, financing options are limited and the market is faced with numerous challenges, including: The lack of overall market transparency makes it difficult to understand risks which discourages Enterprise, lender, and investor participation in the market; Market data and information on chattel is largely unavailable; There is a lack of understanding of how chattel loans perform HomeReady is designed for creditworthy low to moderate income borrowers. The product was released in December of 2015 and you will see that some of the features were created to make financing available to a segment of borrowers who may not have been eligible in the past.

24 Who Can Benefit from a HomeReady Mortgage?
Buyers who need flexibility with down payment Homeowners who want to refinance to lower monthly payments American Indian, Alaskan or Hawaiian Native (Buyers do not have to be members of a federally recognized tribe) Borrowers who meet income eligibility as follows: Now that we understand a little more about HomeReady, let’s talk about what type of customer best fits the product. They would include: Homebuyers who may need some flexibility with down payment, income qualification or both in some cases….. Homebuyers potentially looking to refinance in order to lower their monthly payments……….. And finally, customers who meet the income eligibility limits for the property area…. We will get to discuss HomeReady income eligibility limits in more detail…… And….. I’d like to mention that HomeReady does allow homebuyers to own other properties at the time of closing on a HomeReady mortgage! __________________________________________________________________ There are no income limits for low-income census tracts … For all other properties, the borrower income limit is 100% of Area Median Income (AMI) Area Type Percentage of Area Median Income (AMI) Low-income census tracts No income limit All other properties 100% Prepared by: Kellie Coffey

25 HomeReady Income Eligibility Lookup Tool
On the HomeReady web page, you will find an easy to use income eligibility lookup tool and state maps that show census tracts along with county names and boundaries. I’ll also mention that there is a spreadsheet available that allows you to pull income limits based on FIPS code, state, county and census tract. You have the option to save the spreadsheet on your computer for immediate access. And with a recent enhancement to the Income Eligibility Lookup tool, you can search by area (city or even state) and pinpoint census tracts with no income limit. The FIPS code is a unique 11-digit code assigned to all geographic areas. The first two digits mark the state; the next three, the county; and the last six mark the census tract number. Prepared by: Kellie Coffey

26 Borrower Income Flexibilities
Flexibility Income considerations Non-occupant borrowers Consider income, assets, credit, and liabilities (DU LTV up to 95%; manual underwriting LTV up to 90%) Boarder Income *Helpful in situations when an extended family lives in home and contributes funds for rent. Include as qualifying income Rental income from an accessory unit *Detached Garage with living space The HomeReady borrower income flexibilities represent an important feature that can allow you to get more customers approved. A non-occupant borrower is someone who will not live in the home, but is willing and financially able to be a borrower on the loan. The most common situation that comes to mind is parents, but keep in mind that the non-occupant borrower can be anyone – they are NOT required to be family members. The non-occupant borrower income, assets, credit, and liabilities will be considered for a HomeReady loan. The maximum LTV is 95% AND the occupant borrower must have a Debt To Income Ratio no higher than 43%, based on their own qualifying income and liabilities. The income from the non-occupant borrower is also being considered to determine income eligibility based on AMI. Now let’s talk about boarder and rental income. The boarder income flexibility is for 1-unit properties. Up to 30% of the borrower’s qualifying income can come from a boarder – The boarder is an individual residing with the borrower in the subject property who has made payments to the borrower on a regular basis. There is no requirement that the boarder be a family member, however there must be documentation that the boarder has lived with the borrower for at least the most recent 12 months. Flexibility is provided related to the documentation of the borrower’s receipt of the boarder income – documentation for at least 9 of the most recent 12 months must be provided. If the documentation represents less than a full 12 months, the boarder income must be averaged over a 12-month period to be considered for qualifying purposes. Let’s now discuss rental income When it comes to Rental income, it can be considered as qualifying income from two different sources: First if a 1-unit property has an accessory unit as noted on the appraisal. This could be a garage apartment with a functioning kitchen and bathroom. The other source is for income generated from a 2- to 4-unit property. In these cases, the calculation and documentation of rental income follows standard Selling Guide provisions. Let’s remember that the qualifying income that can be used is 75% of the monthly rental to account for vacancy losses. The main difference between boarder and rental income is that rental income is generated from a self-sufficient unit, whereas boarder income is generated from a room within the living quarters of the subject property. Prepared by: Kellie Coffey

27 Boarder Income Sample Scenario
Now let’s talk about boarder income. In this boarder income sample scenario, a single woman plans to purchase a new home. She has had a roommate sharing living quarters with him for the past 12 months, and the roommate plans to live in the newly purchased home. The roommate pays $375 per month in rent. The borrower has provided documentation to validate the 12 months of prior shared residency. She has canceled checks to document the payment of $375 from the roommate for 10 of the most recent 12 months. The boarder income that can be considered for qualifying purposes is $375 multiplied by 10 months received = $3,750. Because the borrower is unable to document a full 12-month history, this amount is divided over 12 months ($3,750/12 months). The total monthly boarder income that can be considered is $ Prepared by: Kellie Coffey

28 Example: Borrower Using Cash-on-Hand
Scenario A borrower who does not have a bank account wants to use money he has saved (cash-on-hand) otherwise known as “mattress money” for his down payment to purchase a 1-unit home. Eligibility This is acceptable if the borrower customarily uses cash for expenses. May not use cash on hand for reserves (if required). Let’s discuss CASH ON HAND………………. One of the flexibilities of HomeReady is that it allows borrowers to use cash on hand as a source of downpayment and closing costs. Some of the requirements are: You need to verify that the amount of funds saved is consistent with the borrower’s payment habits. Confirm that funds are deposited in a financial institution account or an acceptable escrow account at least 30 days prior to closing Obtain a written statement from the borrower disclosing the source of funds and confirming that the funds have not been borrowed. Determine that the borrower’s credit report and other verifications indicate limited or no use of credit and depository relationship with a financial institution. Prepared by: Kellie Coffey

29 Summary of HomeReady Borrower Benefits
Low Down Payment – as little as 3% down for home purchases Fixed Interest Rates available for stability No Upfront Guarantee Fees Flexible Sources of Funds with no minimum contribution requirement from borrower’s own funds (1-unit properties) Rental and Boarder Income may be considered for qualifying Down Payment Assistance acceptable from tribes and their TDHE’s as an eligible Community Seconds® Cancellable mortgage insurance may be removed per Servicing Guide policy Online learning through Framework’s interactive course or an approved CDFI/TDHE to explain the home buying process and the essentials of homeownership Let’s talk about the benefits for your customers with a HomeReady mortgage: It allows for a low down payment, up to 97% LTV for purchases Pricing will be competitive or better than our standard loan pricing. The LLPAs are either capped or waived altogether based on specific loan characteristics There is no minimum contribution required from the borrower’s own funds for 1 unit properties……… And I’d like to note that it is only 3% for 2- to 4-unit properties Rental and border income may be used to qualify a buyer. HomeReady allows for Community seconds for down payment or closing cost assistance up to a 105% CLTV Fannie Mae allows the use of nontraditional forms of credit for borrower qualification Private Mortgage Insurance may be canceled once the loan reaches 80% LTV upon the customer’s request or automatically when the loan reaches 78% LTV. Let’s note that this is a feature available to other Fannie Mae conventional products. And last but not least, Online homebuyer education is provided by our partner, Framework to educate the buyer on the process and the overall essentials of homeownership. Other Options are available to meet the homeownership education requirement, and we will get to discuss them in more detail later in the presentation. Prepared by: Kellie Coffey

30 Conduct Research Project
The goal of this research was to understand homeownership motivation and barriers, and mortgage-financing needs, among Native Americans who are recent or potential first-time homebuyers wanting to purchase on tribal trust lands.

Understand their views about money and how they manage their personal and household finances. Understand the dynamics and decision-making factors/process related to home purchase and financing. Identify the unique barriers that Native American homebuyers face and resources that could help them.
