Borrowers with existing Freddie Mac loans that are approaching the end of their yield maintenance period may use the Supplemental with Extended Early Rate-Lock Refinance Execution to refinance their existing Freddie Mac loans.  Borrowers will receive additional proceeds up front in the form of a supplemental loan.  At the same time, they will lock in a fixed-rate on a refinance loan for the combined amount of the projected future outstanding principal balance of the first mortgage and supplemental mortgage.  We will process the refinance using our Extended Early Rate-Lock Execution. 

Delaying the origination of the refinance loan allows the existing first mortgage to reach the end or near the end of its yield maintenance period before the refinance pays it off, thereby eliminating or greatly reducing your borrowers’ prepayment premium.  The supplemental mortgage will mature when the refinance loan is scheduled to close so that it can be paid off without an exit fee.  The borrower will be committed to taking both the supplemental loan and the refinance loan, and cannot do one without the other under this execution.

Parameters for Extended Early Rate-Lock Refinance Loan

LTV and DCR

  • Maximum LTV:  80%; Minimum DCR: 1.25x
  • Loan Amount Calculation:  The rate-lock will be based on the projected combined UPB of the first and supplemental mortgages at the end of the yield maintenance period of the first mortgage.  This refinance amount typically will be smaller than the combined first and supplemental loans at closing of the supplemental loan due to amortization reducing the first mortgage during the extended early rate-lock period.

Refinance Loan Origination

  • The existing loans must be in good standing.
  • When the Supplemental with Extended Early Rate-Lock Refinance is committed, an occupancy test and income test will be set at 10 percentage points lower than the underwritten stabilized occupancy percentage and income amount.  At refinance, the property must be operating at or above these levels, as determined by Freddie Mac, or else a nondelivery will occur. 
  • The seller must submit the results of the occupancy and income tests, a current borrower-certified rent roll, and property financial statement at least 30 days prior to the refinance loan origination.  Preliminary and full underwriting packages are not required.
  • At expiration of the term of the supplemental loan, the seller will originate the refinance loan and advance funds to pay off Freddie Mac’s first and supplemental loans.
  • The seller will submit the refinance loan’s final delivery package documents to the Freddie Mac Region, which will follow its normal process to review and purchase the new loan.
  • No fee to Freddie Mac at the refinance loan closing.
  • If the property outperforms the underwritten stabilized occupancy percentage and income amounts, the borrower may request additional proceeds at the time of refinance.  In this case, to size the additional proceeds, full re-underwriting will be required with full documentation according to the Supplemental Mortgage Product.  A supplemental loan application fee will be due.  The refinance loan will still be originated at the committed amount and rate-locked interest rate.  The additional proceeds will be in the form of a supplemental loan at then market interest rates for a first mortgage.
