Fannie Mae, the hip and happening multifamily mortgage lender, was the life of the party in 2021! They dished out a cool $70 billion in multifamily loans through their cool program called Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS). This groovy program lets specially approved lenders underwrite, close, and sell loans without getting Fannie Mae’s approval first. Talk about trust, man!
You know how these lenders roll? They take on around one-third of the loan risk themselves, so they’re not just talking the talk – they walk the walk! And you’ll never guess what – there are 23 of these far-out DUS lenders in the game!
But that’s not all, folks! Fannie Mae and its DUS lenders weren’t just into traditional, market-rate stuff. Oh no, they’re like the champions of affordable housing, funding a whopping $11 billion of it! That’s like buying everyone’s rent at a crazy discount!
Some of these DUS lenders are real multi-talented peeps. Walker & Dunlop was the big shot of 2021, originating a mind-blowing $9.6 billion in Fannie Mae loans. They even nailed the Top Lender List for Freddie Mac too! The CEO, Willy Walker, is probably doing a happy dance.
