📣 This is Huge! 📣

Freddie Mac has announced that it will increase homeownership opportunities for first-time homebuyers by considering on-time rent payments as part of the company’s loan purchase decisions.

“Millions of American adults lack a credit score or have limited credit history. By factoring in a borrower’s responsible rent payment history into our automated underwriting system, we can help make home possible for more qualified renters, particularly in underserved communities,” said Michael DeVito, CEO of Freddie Mac.

Did you know? In February 2021, the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that it would administer and enforce the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation.

While HUD already enforces protections outlined in the Fair Housing Act, this new announcement extends the definition of “sex discrimination” to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity—a significant milestone for the LGBTQI+ community when it comes to housing and lending.

At APM, we know that lasting change starts with us. Part of our commitment as a company is to provide access to homeownership for all clients, regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation, and this will remain our focus until it has been achieved industrywide.

📣New Homebuyers📣 Here are some things to do when starting the homebuying process!
✨Get Pre-Approved! This is an official letter from me stating I can finance your loan! This is what sellers and realtors look for when you put any offer in on a home.

✨Make a financing plan! Just because you may be pre-approved for a certain amount doesn't mean you want to max out your budget! Think about what you want your monthly payments to be and buy smart!

✨Time to find a home! Once you have a budget in mind, time to make a list of things you need vs want in a home!
