Fannie Mae Financing Programs


Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Services Program (DUS)

PROGRAM OUTLINE
Under Delegated Under-writing and Servicing (DUS) Fannie Mae purchases eligible multifamily mortgages from our correspondent mortgage company, which has been delegated the responsibility for originating, underwriting, closing, and delivering multifamily mortgages without Fannie Mae's prior review. DUS allows us to act quickly and be flexible in structuring transactions.

UNDERWRITING AND INTEREST RATES

  • Interest rates are offered by Fannie Mae and our correspondent mortgage company under a four-tier interest rate structure. Interest rates are based on spreads over benchmark "on the run" Treasury rates. Best interest rates are available for mortgages with a higher debt service coverage (DSC) and lower loan-to-value ratios
