No big changes in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fee structure
Washington

Borrowers with weaker credit will pay slightly lower fees, while most others will see prices remain the same, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said on Friday. Certain riskier loans, such as those on investment properties, those over US$417,000 and cash-out refinances will become incrementally more expensive.
