I'm not familiar with it but I would think the hoa fee would be included in your debt to income ratio to see if you can afford the loan so it does play a part to see if you can make the mortgage payment.

are you asking if it is included in the payment or does it count towards qualifying for a mortgage debt wise ?

No. They are usually paid separately.

Fannie and Freddie don't loan money to homebuyers.

You make a separate check for the HOA whenever they're due.(usually monthly) they should send you a notice ...

I've never heard of them being included in a payment to a mortgage lender - generally you pay separately.

That being said, YOU for sure better include the HOA fees in your "loan payment" when you're figuring out whether or not you can afford a place. Don't just assume that the mortgage lender is going to factor that in, though they certainly should. That's your responsibility though.

No, Only Principle, Interest, property taxes, PMI (if not putting 20% down) home owner insurance.

I have never seen HOA being collected via escrow. I look at CDs all day long, roughly 1,000 per month.
