Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Robert from yahoo bd]

I think the dti llpa fees were for mortgagors whose Debt to Income ratio exceeded a certain threshold (e.g., 43%).

It's classic mortgage underwriting, higher dti's result in higher default rates.

Sandra's announcement today was about not adding those extra llpa fees for lenders.

It's just another gift from Sandra to Bob B. over at the MBA, likely for Bob's public news commentary about how the new cross subsidization of higher risk borrowers by lower risk borrowers, "has been wrongly mischaracterized".

The cross subsidization pricing fees were implemented in January 2023 and are to be paid May 01, 2023.

Congress would never allow this, as evidenced by Tim Scott and Pat McHenry.

One could argue to a federal court that the MQD has been violated as it is a Major Economic and Political Importance Question affecting the nations mortgage market.

Standing could be a hurdle, but let's see if the Supremes give us anymore clarity in the student loan forgiveness case, coming out shortly.
