From time to time, there are positive changes in underwriting and lending requirements that can be very beneficial to borrowers like you. If you have previously looked at a Freddie Mac loan and have been told that the loan program is not quite suitable for you, you are not alone. While these loans are well-known to have a very low rate and other competitive terms, there are some rules and regulations that make these mortgages not suitable for all borrowers. The good news is that there have been some wonderful changes to the program in recent years, and Freddie Mac has recently announced changes to the program known as the Wave.

With a closer look at the Wave program by Freddie Mac, you may determine that this is the right program for your needs. Some of the changes to these loans include:

  • Two years landlord history no longer required
  • Borrower contribution no longer required on 80 percent LTV or higher with a gift or gift of equity from an acceptable source (on primary residence)
  • Short sales now eligible per LP findings
  • Removed 120-day seasoning requirement
