“The FHFA, Fannie Mae’s conservator, announced earlier this summer that winning bidders in the foreclosure auction had been chosen, with transactions expected to close in the third quarter. In July, Fannie Mae created an LLC in California, called SFR 2012-1 US West LLC, to transfer the foreclosed properties from Fannie Mae to the LLC. It is unknown whether the winning bidders will purchase the full LLC or only a share, thus splitting the ownership between Fannie Mae and the winning bidders. ‘
Whenever the government gets involved, it never ends well...
The government is hell bent on this bulk sales of foreclosed property scheme
...just like the S&L bailout, hellbent on enriching the donors with taxpayer backed funds. Crooked DC rats in both parties get rich off the manufactured crisis and the taxpaying public gets screwed...thanks Boner and MacDaddyConell, our Repeubs always lookin out for us in DC! Yeah Right...

These realtors were pushing people into homes they couldn’t afford, and making big bucks on the “flippers”. They were pushing creative finacing when people wouldn’t qualify for a regular loan, and they were riding high when the market went out of sight.
Now they’re complianing about the foreclosures? They were a big part of the real estate mess.
There is an undeniable truth in that business: "The first loss is always the best loss".
FHFA is now a decade late.
