With the latest Fannie announcement today (SEL-2022-08) we have new acceptable sources for gifts:
Assets and verification of assets has always been Strict on Mortgages. FNMA has made Gift giving a little easier with this latest update.
FNMA now has 3 categories of donors:
- Relative
- Unmarried Partner (new)
- Unrelated Friend (new)
The 2 new categories are for non-relatives that share a familial relationship with the borrower. These are defined as
- A domestic partner of the borrower
- An individual engaged to marry the borrower
- A former relative of the borrower
- A Godparent of the borrower
- A relative of the domestic partner of the borrower
previously we were not allowed to accept gifts from anyone other than a relative so this is certainly an improvement on the guidelines.
Keep in mind that currently this is Fannie only, and we will still need a gift letter, Donor's Ability, Transfer and Receipt of the gift to satisfy the guidelines.
Thanks for reading!
