Principal Curtailments
Overview
A principal curtailment is the application of funds that are used to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loan. Fannie Mae permits certain curtailments prior to loan delivery provided that the delivery data reflects the curtailment as described in Selling Guide Section B2-1.5-05, Principal Curtailments.
