Fannie Mae RefiNow Enhancements
Newrez LLC "Newrez" Approved Correspondent Clients: Effective Monday, December 6, 2021, Newrez will align with the below enhancements in Fannie Mae Lender Letter LL-2021-10.
Eligibility for RefiNow has been expanded by:
- Increasing the borrower income limit to allow up to 100% of the applicable AMI limit; and
