As of September 18, 2021, Fannie Mae’s new credit score rule allows lenders to average the co-borrower’s FICO scores together to determine eligibility for a conventional loan.
What does this mean for you? Using the same example of the two co-borrowers with credit scores of 690 and 580, if we were to evaluate their average credit score it would be 635. Where they may have struggled before, this new average score makes the co-borrowers eligible to buy or refinance a home.
Combined income may allow two co-borrowers to qualify for a larger loan amount since together they can afford a higher monthly mortgage payment. With Fannie Mae’s new rule, co-borrowers have a better chance of final approval for a home loan based on their average combined credit score and both their incomes taken into consideration.
Fannie Mae’s new credit rule can also help couples save money by refinancing their mortgage loan for a chance to receive lower interest rates on their current loan. Previous borrowers who were forced to apply as individual applicants can now refinance as dual-income households to lower their monthly mortgage payments and decrease interest fees.
