Summary
This bill requires Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to classify payments made by third parties toward a homebuyer's federal student loans as a financial concession for mortgage underwriting purposes, up to $25,000 per transaction. Payments exceeding $25,000 would be classified as sales concessions. The change would allow homebuyers to count third-party student loan assistance as a down payment or closing cost contribution without it being treated as a gift or affecting debt-to-income calculations in the same way.
