Fannie Mae and lenders end 2015 with a bang

Fannie Mae provided $42.3 billion in financing to support 569,000 homes in 2015, which are financed to support affordable or workforce housing.

Providing liquidity to the rental market through Delegated Underwriting and Servicing lender partners has been the core mission of Fannie Mae Multifamily for nearly 30 years. The company’s unique DUS platform relies on shared risk and leverages private capital through the company’s DUS lenders, who retain more than 20% of the credit risk on Fannie Mae’s entire multifamily guaranty book of business, as of Dec. 31, 2015.

"Fannie Mae multifamily continues to be a leader in the market by focusing on a balanced and sustainable portfolio that meets our mission goals and serves diverse market segments," said Jeffery Hayward, executive vice president of multifamily, Fannie Mae.

"The strength of our lender partnerships and our DUS program, and the most comprehensive and consistent risk-aligned network of people, products, and services in multifamily finance are what make Fannie Mae the most reliable source of financing for rental housing,” added Hayward.

With delegation being the core component of Fannie Mae multifamily’s business model, it’s the primary differentiator in the marketplace as they provide leaders with certainty of execution, faster decisions and quicker loan closings.

According to Hilary Province, senior vice president for Fannie Mae’s multifamily customer engagement, in partnering with 25 DUS Lenders, 2015 was a “remarkable year for multifamily production.”
