Fannie Mae DMBS Program Description: The DMBS (Discounted Mortgage Backed Security) loan is a 10 year adjustable rate trading mechanism with a 30 year amortization. It was formerly only available for cross-collateralized mortgage pools in excess of $100,000,000. It is now available for individual loans in excess of $50,000,000 million and on a case-by-case basis FNMA may allow waiver for loans less than $50,000,000 million, particularly when the client is financing multiple loans. The DMBS discount rate is priced every 90 days. The spread remains constant for the term of loan. The rate generally trades slightly inside of the 90 day LIBOR rate because of the AAA credit enhancement.
