Fannie Mae Announces 3.5 Percent Seller Assistance on HomePath® Properties

Dawn Rupersburg — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:55:00 GMT

Incentive Part of Ongoing Effort to Stabilize Neighborhoods WASHINGTON, DC — Fannie Mae (FNM/NYSE) announced today that people purchasing a Fannie Mae-owned HomePath® property will receive up to 3.5 percent of the final sales price to be used toward closing cost assistance or their choice of appliances. The offer is available to any owner-occupant who closes on the purchase of a property listed on HomePath.com before May 1, 2010. "Attracting qualified buyers to the market and reducing the inventory of vacant homes is critical to stabilizing neighborhoods and helping the market recover. Many families are taking advantage of the federal homebuyer tax credit to buy a new home so this is a great time for Fannie Mae to offer some additional help," said Terry Edwards, Executive Vice President of Credit Portfolio Management. "Homebuyers have the option to choose between financial assistance toward closing costs or new appliances for their home." Properties eligible for this incentive are listed on HomePath.com and most listings include detailed property descriptions, photographs, community and school information and more. In addition, many Fannie Mae-owned properties are eligible for special HomePath Mortgage and HomePath Renovation Mortgage financing which offers homebuyers an opportunity to purchase with as little as 3 percent down.

From Freedie Mac:

Requiring Sellers to obtain and analyze the Borrower’s individual federal tax returns to determine the impact of a business loss on the income used to qualify regardless of whether or not the income is used to qualify when the Borrower is self-employed

What that means is if you have one W2 earner and your spouse is self-employed and is taking a big loss on their business it is going to affect the wages of the W2 earner even if the spouse is not on the application for the loan.
