A Change to Credit Score Eligibility in DU
Each and every point making up a credit score just got even more crucial! Fannie Mae’s new release (B3-.1-02) changes the way you calculate the qualifying credit score. For purchase apps with multiple borrowers, the qualifying score will be an average of the applicants’ middle score; see their example below.
To better provide opportunities for new homeowners, Fannie Mae is updating the credit score that is viewed by DU when assessing eligibility. Instead of using the representative credit score to make sure mortgage loans apply for the minimum requirement, it will instead follow the average median credit score! When determining an average median credit score for multiple buyers, the DU will be calculated between the each buyer. This is HUGE and should open many previously closed doors for people in your pipeline, so we wanted to get the word out! If you have anyone close to qualifying or that could use our help, please send them our way! Everyone gets a free consultation where we go over both what we can do to improve their scores and what they can do themselves.
