Following a story MHProNews posted Jan. 14, 2016 regarding GSEs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s multifamily loans for 2015, which totaled just under $90 billion, rebusinessonline reports CBRE was Freddie’s highest-producing multifamily mortgage seller with $6.96 billion in originations.

Making the announcement at the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) convention in Orlando, Freddie reported Wells Fargo Multifamily Capital was the top manufactured housing community seller and affordable housing seller with $3.53 billion in originations. Freddie ranked number five on the list of the top multifamily lenders.

The nation’s largest source of financing for multifamily housing, Freddie Mac’s loans range from $1 million to several billion dollars. Approximately 90 percent of the loans are for low-to-moderate income rental units. Additionally, Freddie securitizes about 90 percent of the multifamily loans it purchases, which transfers the credit risk from taxpayers to private investors. ##
