Although Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failed to reach their multifamily volume caps in 2022, 2023 and probably 2024, FHFA raised the caps from $140 billion to $146 billion for 2025.
New capabilities added to Freddie Mac’s basic ML-deal will allow corporate CUSIPs to be converted to municipal CUSIPs without impacting the tax-exempt status of the securities.
Old industry hands like Mike Calhoun of CRL and former FHFA acting Director Ed Demarco say getting the GSEs out of conservatorship might be more complicated than the Trump administration believes.
The former Freddie executive said eliminating mortgage servicing rights, or transferring them to the GSEs, would eliminate the need for nonbank mortgage servicers to make servicing advances on delinquent loans.
