  1. Unforetunately, Fannie / Freddie are feeling the same pain as the subprime lenders. The biggest issue is that starting about 2001... lenders started to place more importance on FICO credit scores than debt to income ratios. Even Fannie / Freddie where doing loans with DTI was over 55% of peoples gross for just the mortgage and reported bills on the credit report. If IRS gets the other 30% it only leaves 15% to live on. If more is going out than coming in then eventually something is going to break.
