Good evening,
Following is a chart based on Fannie Mae's new bankruptcy and foreclosure
policies as of 08-2008. I will follow this up (in the next week or so) with
part 2 of 2 which will contain a revised chart with the remaining policy
changes.
The following table outlines Fannie Mae's current and new policies for
manually underwritten loans related to the time period that must elapse before
borrowers can demonstrate they have reestablished an acceptable credit history
after the occurrence of the bankruptcy or foreclosure. The table also includes
new "Additional requirements" that apply to foreclosures.
