Columbus, Aug. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JTS & Co. (NMLS# 55275), a mortgage company located at 4158 Hwy. 45 North, Columbus, MS 39705, has revealed that starting September 18, 2021, Fannie Mae will begin averaging FICO scores for borrowers applying for home financing assistance. This means that the middle scores of the applying borrower and co-borrower will be averaged by Fannie Mae to check if they qualify, instead of using which is the lower score among the FICO scores of the borrower or the co-borrower.
Previously, with their old rule, when the borrower and co-borrower do not qualify for home financing from Fannie Mae, they were recommended to use financing from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or some other option. With the revised rules where Fannie Mae averages the FICO scores of the borrower and co-borrower, they get to choose between the conventional home financing and the one provided by the FHA. They can examine both options and then make their choice as to which they prefer.
The Federal National Mortgage Association, which is better known as Fannie Mae, is a government-sponsored enterprise that became a publicly traded company in 1968. Its primary purpose is to expand the secondary market for home financing through the securitization of such home financing deals, with the result that lenders can reinvest their assets into more lending, which means there would be more lenders in the home financing market. This reduces dependence on savings and loan associations or thrifts.
JTS & Co. is an expert when it comes to home financing. They can help people buying a home receive the lowest possible interest rate for their situation, quicker close times, and the best possible customer service.
