In late February 2012, FHFA announced the REO-to-Rental Pilot Initiative Targeted to Hardest-Hit Areas), a highly targeted pilot program with Fannie Mae, to test an asset disposition model that could complement the existing disposition strategies for REO by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Pre-qualification ensures investors will have the financial capacity and operational expertise to manage properties in a way that is conducive to the stabilization of communities hard hit by the housing downturn. This rental period could provide relief for local housing markets that continue to be depressed by the volume of foreclosed properties, and provide additional rental options to certain markets. The REO Initiative allows qualified investors to purchase pools of foreclosed properties with the requirement to rent the purchased properties for a specified number of years.
The Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac's REO portfolios are now stable and their individual retail sales are achieving close to fair market values for the properties. FHFA is exploring new approaches to the disposition of foreclosed properties (real estate owned, or REO) owned by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
