Fannie Mae, one of two main government-sponsored enterprises designed to help stabilize mortgage markets, is a major source of capital for multifamily investors. Since 1988, it has brought more than $962 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market to finance nearly 15 million multifamily units.
But Fannie Mae doesn’t fill that role alone. It relies on a network of lenders in its Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) program to get capital to multifamily investors
Our agency lending team can help you find the right financial solutions for your business.
Fannie Mae sets the terms and underwriting and servicing standards for its multifamily agency loans. But it doesn’t underwrite or service mortgages. As the DUS name suggests, Fannie Mae delegates those tasks to approved private lenders, including JPMorganChase.
Each DUS lender sells mortgages to Fannie Mae, which can hold them in its portfolio or convert them to mortgage-backed securities for sale on the secondary market.
The DUS lender’s role isn’t over when it sells the mortgage. A DUS loan borrower works with the same lender throughout the life of the loan. The DUS lender also retains a portion of the credit risk, ensuring all parties have a stake in the loan’s performance.
Commercial real estate investors can seek a Fannie Mae DUS loan to purchase or refinance multifamily properties with at least five units, including:
Properties must have stabilized occupancy—typically 90%—for 90 days before obtaining a DUS loan.
DUS loans are typically just one type of multifamily financing a DUS lender will offer. The ideal financing choice will depend on an investor’s goals and where a property is in its lifecycle, but a few key differences between DUS and bank loans include:
