- Fannie Mae Green Financing
Fannie Mae’s Green Financing program offers preferred pricing to multifamily borrowers who obtain a green certification or implement energy saving improvements.
The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), commonly known as Fannie Mae, is a leading provider of financing for mortgage lenders in the multifamily market. Fannie Mae offers three options for borrowers in its Green Financing program: Green Rewards, Green Building Certification Pricing Break , and Fannie Mae Healthy Housing Rewards . Our team can help you through every step for any option.
Fannie Mae Multifamily Green Rewards is a financing program for existing properties that provide pricing breaks and additional loan proceeds to finance smarter, greener property improvements. Green Rewards incentivizes borrowers investing in energy and water efficiency for existing properties with better pricing than conventional loans, additional loan proceeds, and the ability to underwrite to utility cost savings.
A lender must engage a pre-approved third party to conduct a High Performance Building (HPB) Report (similar to an ASHRAE Level II Energy Audit and Water Study) that identifies opportunities for energy and water savings. As a pre-approved provider, Partner Energy has completed thousands of High Performance Building (HPB) Reports for Green Rewards borrowers.
Other Green Rewards benefits include:
Partner Energy can complete the HPB Report listing energy saving and water saving measures that will also lower operating costs. We can also help borrowers satisfy the energy and water benchmarking requirements for Green Rewards borrowers.
Fannie Mae offers preferential pricing for multifamily properties with Fannie Mae-recognized green building certifications in hand prior to loan close. Fannie Mae recognizes thirty-five green building certifications issued by the following organizations:
