Increased limits for all conforming loan programs and for high-balance and government loans are expected to be announced in the coming months, so watch for more news from us.

Mortgage agency Fannie Mae has announced a reduced down payment minimum of 5% for many of its loan options for owner-occupied multi-family homes. This will make homeownership more accessible for buyers who wish to purchase a multi-unit residence and offset their costs with rental income.

The change will take effect on the weekend of November 18, 2023 for standard purchase, HomeReady, HomeStyle Renovation and limited cash-out refinances of owner-occupied 2-, 3- and 4-unit residences. The change will not affect high-balance loans and loans that are manually underwritten.
