CRT-Eligible Profile Summary
Temporary Interest Rate Buydowns
Mortgage loans acquired by Fannie Mae may be subject to a temporary interest rate buydown, which is used to reduce a borrower's monthly
payment through a temporary reduction in the interest rate. They can be classified as "Moderate" or "Significant".
•
•
Moderate (SFC 9) - A Moderate buydown is less than or equal to 2% and for less than or equal to 24 months
Significant (SFC 14) - A Significant buydown is greater than 2% and/or for greater than 24 months
Temporary Interest Rate Buydown Loans are underwritten without consideration of the bought-down rate, and the DTI reported in our
disclosures reflects such rate.
CRT disclosures will include a one-time loan level file posted on Data Dynamics with a buydown indicator flag denoting SFC 9 / 14 or not
applicable.
