Fannie Mae HomePath Mortgage Loan: What Properties Are Eligible?

April 14, 2009

The Fannie Mae HomePath mortgage loan program has started to become more and more popular — people are actually calling and asking about the loan program by name. You can’t imagine how strange that is in the world of mortgage-guys — people usually call you and begin by saying something like:

Hello, I would like to talk to you about qualifying for a mortgage…

But recently, more calls have begun with something like:

Hello, I would like to see if I can get one of those Fannie Mae HomePath loans…

Which is strange.

But, I learned long ago — don’t fight the trend. And the truth is, the HomePath program trend is both growing in popularity and also a great program because Fannie Mae has put some of their (unlimited?) resources behind it.

One of the common questions that we get about the HomePath program is “what kinds of properties are eligible for the program?”

Fannie Mae HomePath Mortgage Loan Program: Find it On The Web First

The first step to finding out if a property is eligible for HomePath financing is to find it at the HomePath website. All properties must be designated on the HomePath website as eligible for HomePath financing. The printed property page from the HomePath website must include the date the copy was generated.  If a property is eligible for HomePath financing, it will have a logo that looks like this on it:

fannie-mae-homepath-finance-it-now-logo

Mr. Obvious would like to point out that if the property has a logo that looks like the one below anywhere on the property page, this means that the property is not eligible for HomePath financing for some reason:

Fannie Mae HomePath Mortgage Loan Program: Eligible Property Types

The types of properties that may have the eligible property logo on them include:

  • 1-4 unit properties
  • Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac eligible condominiums
  • Planned unit developments
  • Modular homes
  • Manufactured homes (must be a double-wide)

Ineligible properties include, non-Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac eligible condominiums, single wide manufactured homes and cooperative properties.

The minimum loan amount for the HomePath program is $20,000 (Hi Dean!) so be sure that you are planning to finance at least $20,000.

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
