Fannie Mae DUS™ Discounted
Mortgage Backed Security (DMBS)
Fannie Mae’s DMBS (Discounted
Mortgage Backed Security) program provides exceptional rates for
borrowers seeking either a large single loan of at least $25 million
or a pool of loans totaling $50 million filled over a 12 month period.
Properties in DMBS pools must have common control, not ownership,
and there is no requirement for cross collateralization or geographical
diversity.
This variable-rate financing alternative
benefits property owners seeking the lowest pay rate. Loans are
funded through the issuance of a DMBS, which is sold at a discount
and recast at par every 3, 6 or 9 months in lieu of a stated interest
rate. With current all-in rates below 2.5%, the DMBS can result
in substantial cash flows and huge savings over the life of the
loan.
