THE LOAN QUALITY INITIATIVE! (aka loan repurchase world!) The only thing I might add before you read on is FNs loan purchasing systems/work flow are tedious and usually time consuming. Historically, many issues related to compliance with Fannie Mae selling policies are not detected until after loans are delinquent or through the foreclosure process. Loan repurchase requests to lenders have increased in the past three years, highlighting the need for an improved approach for working with lenders to deliver loans that meet Fannie Mae’s underwriting…(<a href="http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/02262010_fannie_mae_quality_control.asp”>read more)
