Freddie Mac Refi Possible FAQ

What is Freddie Mac Refi Possible?

How is a Refi Possible mortgage different from a Freddie Mac Home Possible® mortgage refinance?

At a high level, a Refi Possible mortgage would be a better refinance option for borrowers who may not qualify for Home Possible; this could include borrowers with higher debt-to-income (DTI) ratios or who have limited funds to pay for upfront appraisal costs. However, both offerings provide benefits to serve lower-income borrowers.

Check out our Refi Possible and Home Possible Refinance Comparison grid to view a side-by-side comparison of product features. In addition, the complete requirements of each offering may be found in the Freddie Mac Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide (Guide).

Refer to Guide Chapter 4501 Home Possible^®Mortgages.

Refer to Guide Chapter 4302: Freddie Mac Refi Possible^SM Mortgages.

Can a Refi Possible mortgage be amortized for a period other than 15, 20, or 30 years?

Refi Possible mortgages are available for all eligible fixed-rate mortgage terms.

Can Refi Possible be combined with Home Possible?

No, these are two distinct Freddie Mac product offerings with each having benefits to serve lower-income borrowers. These offerings cannot be combined.

Can I transfer my existing Mortgage Insurance to a new loan under Freddie Mac Refi Possible?

No, you cannot transfer existing mortgage insurance to a new loan under Freddie Mac Refi Possible. You will need to obtain a new mortgage insurance policy for the refinanced loan.
