Ginnie Mae
Ginnie Mae is a government agency that guarantees mortgage-backed securities composed of government-insured loans like FHA, VA, and USDA.
What Ginnie Mae means
Unlike Fannie and Freddie, Ginnie Mae doesn't buy loans; it guarantees the securities, channeling investor money into government lending programs.
