How Insights is written

  • Every article names its sources, each with a link and a date. Primary sources come first: the Federal Reserve, HUD, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the U.S. Treasury, with credible news outlets where they help.
  • Facts are stated in our own words. We do not copy anyone’s wording, charts or images, and we do not get around paywalls.
  • Articles explain how programs and markets work. They do not quote our rates or fees and do not tell anyone they will get a loan.
  • Articles about investor loans say that those loans are for business purposes.
  • Each article shows when it was published and last reviewed, and it is updated or withdrawn when the facts change.
