Freddie Mac Refi Possible™

Refi Possible is an affordable refinancing option aimed at making it easier and less expensive for qualifying homeowners to reduce their monthly housing costs by taking advantage of lower interest rates.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have adopted a new refinance option for loans to borrowers with incomes at or below 100% of area median income and your borrowers may be eligible to take advantage of this program. If their mortgage is owned or guaranteed by either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, they may be eligible to refinance their mortgage under this refinance option.

Refi Possible offers features that help to address some of the barriers to refinance and is a great option for creditworthy borrowers who may not have previously qualified.

Your borrowers can determine whether their mortgage is owned by either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae by checking the following websites: Freddie Mac Loan Look-up Tool or Fannie Mae Mortgage Loan Lookup.
