Freddie Mac Home Possible

Home Possible is Freddie's low-down-payment conventional option for eligible borrowers with qualifying income at or below the program limit.

Income limit

Current Home Possible qualifying income may not exceed 80% of AMI for the property location. LPA or Freddie's eligibility tool determines product income eligibility.

Leverage

Freddie advertises up to 97% LTV on eligible one-unit transactions and up to 105% TLTV when eligible Affordable Seconds are used.

Borrower contribution

Freddie's current standard requires no minimum borrower personal-funds contribution on eligible one-unit Home Possible purchases. For 2–4 units above 80% LTV/TLTV/HTLTV, the guide generally requires 3% from borrower personal funds.

2026 changes

Effective April 12, 2026, Freddie changed several Home Possible rules, including removing unsecured-loan proceeds as an eligible source of funds and making super conforming loans ineligible for Home Possible.

Affordable-conventional product rules are layered on top of ordinary conventional underwriting. Income limits, occupancy, education, LTV and subordinate financing requirements must all be checked.
