Throughout COVID-19, there’s been a lot of talk about forbearance and other loss mitigation options that apply to borrowers with federally-backed loans.
This refers to loans backed by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), or Freddie Mac or Frannie Mae.
If your loan is through the FHA, there will be a 13-digit HUD case number on the upper right-hand corner of your mortgage statement. (HUD stands for US Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees the FHA.)
If you don’t have an FHA loan but believe your mortgage is backed by another agency, see below:
Is my mortgage owned by Fannie Mae?
Is my mortgage is owned by Freddie Mac?
Is my mortgage is through the USDA?
Is my mortgage through the VA?
For more help to find out who owns your mortgage, head to the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Since anything to do with mortgages can be stressful, take a moment to pause for a deep breath whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed.
