Freddie Mac Home Possible Income Limits Reduced
On June 20, 2019, Freddie Mac announced they are reducing the income limits for their Home Possible program from 100% of area median income (AMI) to 80% of AMI. The implementation date is currently planned for July 28, 2019. This applies to all Home Possible mortgages, including those in low-income census tracts.
We published in the June Lending Announcement that Fannie Mae’s HomeReady product also reduced their income limits from 100% of AMI to 80% of AMI; however, HomeReady still has no income limit in low-income tracts.

TRID READY – How to get your CD out ASAP.
Hello Everyone,
As a reminder, in order to get your loan through the TRID process and into closing ASAP, please be sure your file has all the items that are required to clear the TRID review. See the attached TRID Ready Guide for everything you will need.
Also, please make sure you are entering your TRID Ready Date once your file has all the TRID items completed. Compliance prioritizes files by TRID Ready Date, so please do not forget to add this date.
We are doing everything we can to maintain our turn times, please help us do so by following the attached guide as closely as possible.
Thanks!
