Freddie Mac is one of the few investors that offers a Supplemental Mortgage product. With our Supplemental Mortgage product, we can purchase supplemental mortgages on seasoned Freddie Mac first mortgages. We also offer a split mortgage option, where the borrower simultaneously takes out a first and supplemental mortgage. Advantages of our Supplemental Mortgage product include:

  • Reduced documentation at full application for most loans.
  • Additional financing without the prepayment premium that a refinancing would trigger.
  • Both fixed- and adjustable-rate supplemental loans available.
  • The ability to maximize proceeds at settlement of a split loan without subjecting the entire debt to a full yield maintenance period.

Supplemental Mortgage Options

We offer three types of supplemental mortgage options:

  • Coterminous – A supplemental mortgage on an existing Freddie Mac multifamily mortgage with a term that matures at the same time as the first mortgage
  • Noncoterminous – A supplemental mortgage on an existing Freddie Mac mortgage with a term that exceeds the remaining term of the first mortgage
  • Split Mortgage – A supplemental mortgage placed at the same time as a newly originated Freddie Mac first mortgage

Eligible Loans

  • Existing first mortgages in good standing with satisfactory payment history
  • Individual mortgages purchased through our Conventional Mortgage Program (including streamlined refinances), adjustable-rate mortgages, seniors housing mortgages and mortgages financed by tax-exempt bonds
  • Some pools of mortgages purchased or securitized through our Multifamily Affordable Sales and Investments department
