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.- Predictable Monthly Payments: Your interest rate and monthly payments remain the same throughout the life of the loan.

For most borrowers, there’s very little difference between a Freddie Mac Fixed Rate Mortgage and a Fannie Mae Fixed Rate Mortgage. Both are government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that purchase loans from lenders like PDCU, and both offer conforming fixed-rate loans with similar terms, credit requirements, and down payment options.
The biggest difference is behind the scenes: Freddie Mac loans are typically underwritten using Loan Product Advisor®, while Fannie Mae loans use Desktop Underwriter®. Some of the qualification guidelines—such as how income or co-borrowers are evaluated—may vary slightly between the two systems. In many cases, lenders will run your application through both and choose the one that offers the best approval path.
Both options can help you secure a stable, fixed-rate mortgage with predictable monthly payments—and your lender will help match you with the right one based on your financial profile.
