Fannie Mae just announced a policy change to help the Homeowner who has been waiting to Move Up into a bigger property.

During the Housing melt down, most Federal Lending Guidelines had tightened to prevent Borrowers from buying a new home (at the lower prices) with limited equity in their existing home who could then let their existing home go into Foreclosure.

These standards required a 30% equity position before a borrower could use a lease on their existing property to help offset their mortgage payment in qualifying for a new home purchase.

Now that we have moved into a more stable market, it is refreshing to finally see some relaxation in at least this guideline.

Hopefully it is a glimmer of good things to come.
