United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) is actively making changes to its loan offerings for investment properties and second homes, as highlighted by CEO Ishbia. The company plans to absorb differences in pricing, which have been challenging due to new loan-level pricing adjustments (LLPAs) imposed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). These adjustments are part of the Biden administration's initiative to improve financing opportunities for underserved borrowers. However, brokers have struggled with these new regulations, and UWM's approach is a response to this issue, ensuring that their clients do not miss out on competitive loan rates.
It's been three years, April Fool's [was] yesterday and they did not change it, Ishbia said. I'm changing them at UWM for everyone.
UWM's pricing adjustments on agency second home and investment properties, effective April 2, 2025. He said the new pricing was effective immediately.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency made significant changes to the LLPAs as part of the Biden administration's broader effort to provide housing financing opportunities.
Despite industry protest, the FHFA has held the line on LLPAs and there have been hopes the Trump administration would return to a truer risk-weighting policy.
