We’re pleased to let you know that we’re now accepting applications from financial institutions seeking to become Approved Structured Lenders, a new designation that establishes an upfront, standardized relationship for participating in Freddie Mac’s third-party Structured transactions. This initiative provides an additional tool for Optigo® and other lenders to use for their portfolio management strategy.

Some Optigo lenders already participate in our Structured deals — and we want to ensure you are all aware of this opportunity as we’re actively seeking lenders interested in contributing their non-Optigo loans to regular, scheduled transactions.

Approved Structured Lenders will be reviewed and designated prior to submitting loans, enabling a more predictable and streamlined process for each transaction.  

Freddie Mac Multifamily’s Structured transactions support a broad range of capital structures and transaction types. Customized financing solutions include Freddie Mac’s Q-, ML- and M-Deals that securitize taxable conventional and affordable loans as well as tax-exempt loans and bonds. These third-party securitization products, and other credit enhancement products like PC Swaps and Custody Receipts, increase liquidity, stability and affordability in the multifamily housing market.

To apply for the new designation, please fill out this interest form to initiate the evaluation process, or reach out to me if you’d like more information.
