What You Need to Know about COVID-19 Multifamily Mortgage Financing and Forbearance
In partnership with the Mortgage Bankers Association, NAHB is presenting a webinar for NAHB members on multifamily mortgage lending and forbearance developments during the COVID-19 pandemic. This program will be held Thursday, May 7, at 11 a.m. ET, and will include guidance on communicating with mortgage lenders and servicers during these unprecedented times. Representatives from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Wells Fargo and PGIM will explain program guidelines, discuss best practices and offer advice for seeking mortgage forbearance.
Questions may be submitted ahead of the webinar when registering or by emailing [email protected]. NAHB members can register today.
NAHB continues to advocate for multifamily resources during this crisis, including recent comment letters to HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to draw attention to specific multifamily mortgage programs. Information on these efforts, as well as additional resources, are available on nahb.org.
