Down payment requirements for a Fannie Mae Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan can vary, but typically range from 3% to 20% of the home’s purchase price. Lower down payments may require private mortgage insurance (PMI).
The minimum credit score for a Fannie Mae Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan is usually around 620. However, higher credit scores can help you qualify for better interest rates and terms.

What Is the Fannie Mae Home Loan Program?

The Fannie Mae home loan program helps make homeownership more accessible and affordable for borrowers in the United States. Fannie Mae, a government-sponsored enterprise, purchases and guarantees mortgages from lenders, allowing them to offer more competitive loan options. Fannie Mae loans are typically conventional loans that must meet certain criteria, including loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). These loans can be used to purchase or refinance primary residences, second homes, and certain investment properties, making them a versatile choice for many buyers.

Can I Qualify for a Fannie Mae Loan With a Low Credit Score?

For specialized programs like the HomeReady® mortgage, the minimum score remains 620, but stronger credit may reduce your interest rate and private mortgage insurance (PMI) costs. Lenders also consider other factors, such as your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, employment history, and down payment size. If your credit score is below the required threshold, improving it by paying down debt, making timely payments, and limiting new credit inquiries can increase your chances of qualifying for a Fannie Mae-backed mortgage. At PDCU, our knowledgeable mortgage team is here to assist you through every step of the home-buying process, ensuring you find the right loan to meet your needs. As a member-owned credit union, we put your best interests first, offering personalized service and expert guidance.
Eligible properties include single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-unit properties (up to four units). The property must be used as your primary residence.
Common loan terms for Fannie Mae Fixed Rate Mortgages are 15, 20, and 30 years. The term you choose will affect your monthly payments and the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
  • Predictable Monthly Payments: Your interest rate and monthly payments remain the same throughout the life of the loan.
  • Stability: Fixed rates provide financial stability and simplify long-term budgeting.
  • Flexibility: Available for various property types and occupancy situations.
Yes, refinancing with a Fannie Mae Fixed Rate Mortgage can help you secure a lower interest rate, reduce your monthly payments, or change your loan term to better suit your financial goals.

For most borrowers, there’s very little difference between a Freddie Mac Fixed Rate Mortgage and a Fannie Mae Fixed Rate Mortgage.

How do Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae fixed-rate mortgages differ?

Both are government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that purchase loans from lenders like PDCU. They offer conforming fixed-rate mortgages with similar terms, credit requirements, and down payment options. You get the same great fixed rate and monthly payment either way.

The Main Difference

Behind the scenes, Freddie Mac loans use Loan Product Advisor® for underwriting, while Fannie Mae loans use Desktop Underwriter®. Some qualification guidelines—such as how income or co-borrowers are evaluated—may vary slightly between the two systems.

How PDCU Helps You Choose

We run your application through both systems and select the one that offers the best approval path and terms for your situation. This means you have the best chance of approval with the most favorable terms and conditions.
