Effective with loan commitments taken on or after Monday, March 23, 2015, PennyMac is pleased to announce the following changes to government loan guidelines and rate sheet grids:
High Balance Loan Terms
Previously, PennyMac restricted government high balance transactions to 20, 25 and 30 year loan terms. With this change, government high balance loan terms of 10 and 15 years will be eligible in addition to the currently available terms.
FHA Occupancy
- FHA Streamline – Previously, PennyMac restricted FHA Streamline transactions to owner-occupied or second home occupancy. With this change, PennyMac will allow non-owner occupied loans in addition to owner-occupied and second home transactions.
- FHA 203b - Previously, PennyMac restricted HUD REOs to owner-occupied transactions. Effective with this change, non-owner occupied HUD REOs will be eligible for FHA 203(b) financing in addition to the owner-occupied transactions.
VA IRRRL Occupancy
Previously, PennyMac restricted VA IRRRL transactions to owner-occupied. Effective with this change, second home/investment properties will be eligible for VA IRRRL transactions as long as the veteran certifies that he/she had occupied the house as his/her primary residence.
