What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``First Time Homebuyer Debt Reduction Act'', focuses on how certain payments are treated during a home sale. It requires the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to instruct the enterprises to treat specific payments as financial concessions. These covered payments consist of payments made by an interested party toward a buyer's student loan. This applies specifically to a newly constructed principal residence. There is a cap on how these payments are classified if they exceed a certain amount.
