Daily Markets informs MHProNews the $33.8 billion in multifamily loans that Fannie Mae and its lenders processed in 2012 builts nearly 560,000 units of housing. “In 2012 the multifamily market was strong, with solid fundamentals remaining in place,” said Jeffery Hayward, Senior Vice President, Head of the Multifamily Mortgage Business, Fannie Mae. “Private capital continued to return to the market, an important step to restoring a more normal lending environment.” In addition, 98 percent of the multifamily loans were through the Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) program, which requires lenders to have “skin in the game.” Manufactured housing communities received $912 million in 2012 from Fannie Mae, $377 million more than in 2011.
