1% penalty on 2 family?
I’m looking into refinancing my loan on a two family brownstone and my mortgage broker told me that there was a 1% two family add on from Fannie/Freddie which bumps the beast available rate up to a little over 5.6%. Has anyone else run into this? We’re looking at a 30 year fixed regular conforming…
I’m looking into refinancing my loan on a two family brownstone and my mortgage broker told me that there was a 1% two family add on from Fannie/Freddie which bumps the beast available rate up to a little over 5.6%. Has anyone else run into this? We’re looking at a 30 year fixed regular conforming loan but that added 1% is putting the kybosh on any real savings since our current loan is at 6%. Any way around this to get a better rate?
Hey bmfesq, who did you speak to at sovereign? Thx
You are all getting 75% LTV????
The best I can get is 55%….Maybe I need to call your people!
There is no way that the quotes are for Jumbo. If you need a Jumbo you will pay the price and Obama does not care about rates for people who are Jumbo.
does anyone know if these rates apply to jumbo mortgages? or: is there *anyone* who offers jumbos with rates below six percent?
thank you.
Assuming all these quotes are for conforming loans ? i.e. non jumbo
Thanks for all the info. Crazy that Fannie/Freddie are penalizing multi family owner when the government is doing all it can to bring rates down to encourage lending. Sounds like it might be worth shopping around a little. I’ll post again if I find any great deals.
I am in process of refi now with Sovereign Bank, 4.375% and .25 pt. on 3 family with an LTV now of about 75 or so.
Yes, Fannie has a 1pt adjustment to the price of the loan for 2-4 units among other price adjustments such as .75% to the price for condos over 75% LTV
Send me an email and I will give you a reliable quote. 5.6% sounds a little rich.

I had called AStoria Federal(My mortage lender) a week ago just to test the waters and they quoted me 4.87 on my 2 family with 1 point for closing costs
I guess it also depends on other factors like credit score and how much of a mortage you have….
but over 5.6% seems high to me
