Summary · why it matters

AD Mortgage has launched a new Public Policy Initiative to engage with policymakers on housing affordability and mortgage finance. As its first action, the wholesale lender submitted a policy letter to the Federal Housing Finance Agency with market data and recommendations on upcoming changes to condominium project eligibility for loans purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The letter draws on proprietary lending data showing that more than 750 Florida condominium loans originated by AD Mortgage since 2021 used the Limited Review process, and 53% of its Florida conventional condominium originations in that period relied on Limited Review. The company also found that approximately 30% of manually reviewed condominium projects had reserve funding below the new 15% threshold under revised Enterprise guidelines. AD Mortgage plans to regularly engage with federal and state policymakers, publish research, and collaborate with industry organizations as part of the initiative.
