Fannie Mae Discount MBS

Fannie Mae Discount MBS

Discounted Mortgage Backed Securities

Fannie Mae Discount MBS, short for Fannie Mae Mortgage Backed Securities, or even DMBS, is unique in the multifamily finance industry. It is a variable rate financing facility for portfolio property owners seeking the lowest mortgage rates in the market through the sale of short-term secured notes. Fannie Mae issues a Discount MBS that is sold at a discount and then recasts the interest rate every 3, 6, or 9 months in lieu of a stated interest rate.

Mortgage backed securities of this nature trade inside of the LIBOR rate, thus significantly reducing the cost of borrowing. Further, Fannie Mae allows “asset swaps” whereby a particular property can be swapped out for another asset of equal or greater value. This is especially advantageous to a portfolio owner who wants to retain the flexibility of selling a particular property without facing cost prohibitive prepayment penalties.
