Preferential Pricing for Green Building Certified Properties

Fannie Mae offers preferential pricing on loans secured by a multifamily property with a Fannie Mae-recognized green building certification.

Fannie Mae conducts an annual review of Green Building certifications available to multifamily properties. All recognized certifications have minimum energy and/or water reduction requirements. Please see Form 4250 for complete eligibility requirements and the levels assigned to each certification. Loans on properties with a Green Building Certification will be disclosed as a Green MBS.
