No Government Support for Investor Property Loans from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

New rules aim to limit government backing for mortgages on properties intended for rental or investment. This means Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will no longer be able to purchase or acquire such loans. The goal is to reduce risk in the housing market and potentially make it easier for individuals to buy homes for their primary residence.
Key points
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will stop purchasing investor property loans (e.g., for rental) 18 months after the law takes effect.
This change may impact the availability and cost of loans for investors, potentially altering real estate market dynamics.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) will oversee a gradual reduction in these transactions to prevent sudden market disruptions.
