🚨 Rocket Mortgage will become the first mortgage lender to use VantageScore 4.0 as its "preferred credit scoring model" for all eligible loans. After four months of testing, the company found that VantageScore helped more clients qualify, while also reducing credit scoring costs.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP! "The mortgage industry has relied on one credit scoring model for decades. Competition is healthy, especially when it can lower costs and expand responsible access to homeownership. We did the work, compared the models and chose the one that helped more qualified clients," said Jay Bray, CEO of Rocket Mortgage. "With our mission to 'help everyone home' this decision only made sense. We thank Director Pulte for his leadership in encouraging multiple credit scoring models that ultimately benefit the American homebuyer."

We are Simplifying Mortgage Pricing following feedback from lenders and consumers. Instead of two separate pricing grids, which makes zero sense, Fannie and Freddie are hereby moving to ONE PRICING GRID with VantageScore joining the existing FICO Classic pricing grid.

Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours in the Oval Office, flying around the world and meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across our beautiful country and meeting Americans from all walks of life. Most of all, I am thankful to the President for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the White House podium. I have spoken with great pride about the many historic accomplishments of this Administration, and I have relished holding the liberal media accountable and ensuring the American people hear the truth about President Trump’s successes. Being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of my life, to say the least. The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary — and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life. President Trump has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside, and I will always remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party. Our country is facing an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democrat Party that seeks to destroy everything great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over. Thank you again to the President, the First Lady, and the entire Trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years. Thank you to our amazing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for empowering me since the day she hired me on the campaign, and to the President’s cabinet, my staff, colleagues, and friends at the White House who work so hard on behalf of our nation. It has been a privilege to serve alongside so many accomplished and impressive people, and I look forward to cheering them on over the next two and a half years. And of course, thank you most especially to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role. ♥️🇺🇸

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac both accommodate Sharia Law-compliant home financing. Fannie Mae even has a specific loan code for: “Musharaka Islamic Finance Mortgages.” Freddie Mac explicitly recognizes financing “designed to comply with Islamic law.” Wow.
