Great news for homebuyers and homeowners that have student loan debt!
Fannie Mae has announced new policies to help borrowers with student debt qualify for a home purchase or refinance loan.
The new rules provide three flexible solutions to current and future homeowners, while allowing lenders to serve more borrowers. The solutions include:
- Student Loan Cash-Out Refinance: Offers homeowners the opportunity to pay off high interest rate student loan debt while potentially refinancing to a lower home loan rate.
- Debt Paid by Others: Excludes non-mortgage debt (such as credit cards, auto loans and student loans) paid by someone else from the borrower's debt-to-income ratio, expanding borrower eligibility to qualify for a home loan.
- Student Debt Repayment Calculation: Allows lenders to accept student loan payment information on credit reports, increasing the likelihood that borrowers with student debt could qualify for a loan.
The bottom line is that if you currently carry student loan debt, buying a home or refinancing has just gotten easier!
