Redding's Ups and Downs

June 29th, 2010 9:55 AM
Fannie Mae intends to file lawsuits against homeowners walking away from their loan because their home value is upside down even though they can afford the payments.  Also, Fannie Mae could possibly force them to wait seven years before obtaining another mortgage backed by the organization. But experts wonder how the firm will determine which home owners defaulted strategically.

Experts also question whether the policy is viable given its departure from White House initiatives to bolster the housing market.


The policy is intended to force borrowers to pursue short sales or surrender the deed, rather than enter foreclosure, says Fannie Mae.
