Fannie Mae issued Selling Guide Announcement SEL-2022-02 (Announcement), setting forth updates to the Selling Guide. Per the Announcement, Fannie Mae:
- Updated requirements with respect to single-close construction-to-permanent transactions (the updated requirements include age of credit documentation, appraisal documentation, requalification of the borrower, and Desktop Underwriter service);
- added Condo Project Manager (CPM) status designations to align with the enhancements in the March 4, 2022 CPM release; and
- simplified policy for the allowable interest rate permitted on a Community Seconds transaction.
Revisions related to single-close construction-to-permanent transactions apply where the Note date of the construction loan is on or after June 1, 2022. Revisions related to the interest rate permitted on a Community Seconds transaction are effective for applications dated on and after June 1, 2022 (however, lenders may take advantage of these changes immediately).
