COVID-19 underwriting flexibilities: What’s changing?

Over the past 14 months, there have been numerous announcements made jointly by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac regarding file documentation and evaluation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently we’ve started to see these flexibilities shifting back, but some are not and will remain in place until further notice. Let’s hear from MGIC’s National Trainer, Rebecca Chase, on what's changing and what’s not.
