Fannie Mae Announces Sixteenth Sale of Reperforming Loans

For about a decade GSE Fannie Mae has been carrying delinquent mortgages that have started performing again (that is, payments on the mortgages have become current with or without the assistance of modification of loan terms). Fannie Mae packages and markets the reperforming loans to investors, usually through a money center bank.

Fannie Mae Tuesday announced the results of its sixteenth such package of reperforming loans, 18,190 loans totaling $3.37 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB), divided into six pools.  

The winning bidders of the six pools for the transaction were DoubleLine Capital LP for Pool 1, LSRMF Mortgage Holdings II, LLC for Pool 2, DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. for Pool 3, Great Ajax Operating Partnership LP for Pools 4 and 5, and JP Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corp. for Pool 6. The transaction is expected to close on September 25. The pools were marketed with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as advisor.
