Having mustered the rigorous screening process to determine its eligibility, Total Mortgage Services Inc. has been approved as a Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) issuer for the GNMA I and II single-family mortgage-backed securities program, the company reports.
Now that Total Mortgage is a qualified Ginnie Mae issuer, it can pool and securitize FHA, VA and USDA mortgages, as well as expand its Ginnie Mae product offerings.
