The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has re-proposed, and is seeking additional comments on, its minimum financial eligibility requirements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac seller/servicers.
The proposed changes from the existing standards established in 2015 involve differentiating between the servicing risks of the government-sponsored enterprises and Ginnie Mae. The FHFA also suggested increasing the required capital ratio for nonbank sellers/servicers from 6% to 9%.
In a statement, the agency said the move will “strengthen, and provide transparency and consistency of, required capital and liquidity for seller/servicers with different business models.”
