Fannie Mae Announces Sale of Non-Performing Loans

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae (OTC Bulletin Board: FNMA) today announced its latest sale of non-performing loans, including the company's eleventh and twelfth Community Impact Pools. Community Impact Pools are typically smaller pools of loans that are geographically-focused, and marketed to encourage participation by non-profit organizations, minority- and women-owned businesses (MWOBs), and smaller investors.  

The three larger pools include approximately 5,900 loans totaling $1.04 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB) and the Community Impact Pools of approximately 190 loans totaling $35.68 million in UPB. The Community Impact Pools consist of one pool geographically located in the metro area of Orlando, Florida, as well as one in the Tampa, Florida area.  All pools are available for purchase by qualified bidders. This sale of non-performing loans is being marketed in collaboration with Bank of America Merrill Lynch and First Financial Network, Inc., as advisors.

Bids are due on the three larger pools on March 6 and on the Community Impact Pools on March 20.

Among other elements, terms of Fannie Mae's non-performing loan transactions require the buyer of the non-performing loans to pursue loss mitigation options that are sustainable for borrowers. In the event a foreclosure cannot be prevented, the owner of the loan must market the property to owner-occupants and non-profits exclusively before offering it to investors, similar to Fannie Mae's FirstLook^® program.

Interested bidders are invited to register for future announcements, training and other information at http://www.fanniemae.com/portal/funding-the-market/npl/index.html. Fannie Mae will also post information about specific pools available for purchase on that page.
