Fannie Mae Tightens Credit Guidelines For Mortgages

Borrowers Can Expect Additional Credit Checks

Fannie Mae recently adopted a new program called the Loan Quality Initiative (LQI).  In a move to improve the quality of its loans, Fannie Mae introduced additional credit checks for those requesting a mortgage.  A buyer can expect a credit check a second credit report right before closing on a new home.

Lenders will be re-checking a credit score to verify that the buyer's credit has not changed since the original approval.  Buyers MUST be extremely careful not to do anything that could negitively impact their finanicial picture.  Lenders are now counseling buyers not to make purchases, apply for new credit cards or cancel cards.  It is essential that the buyer follow the lender's recommendations or risk the cancellation of their closing.
