Thank you Jeff for providing the most comprehensive analysis of this latest newsletter from Freddie Mac. And thank you for stating the facts in laymans terms.
This blog is the first place I look for guidance whenever news breaks in the short sale business.

First off, thanks for the great blog and a wealth of reviews and information. Secondly, thanks for this great webinar. Which leads me to a third point, that is indirectly related — does the 20% profit for investors restriction apply only if the “C” buyer is an FHA or otherwise government-financed? What about conventional (bank) financing (mortgage)? And cash buyers? Can Fannie Mae or Freddy Mac place the 20% profit restriction for 90 days onto the title/deed even for cash buyers? That’s what some people on online forums (which are always correct, of course) have said is happening. If Fannie/Freddy can now dictate that too, even to cash buyers, it’s a cause for protest. Can’t we all create an online RE Investors Association to advocate for our issues?

Jeff–Where is your “just say no to HAFA” form?
We have looked and looked and cannot find it. We are SREC members.

I’m looking for specific info on the HAFA program and how it affects the SS investor any ideas?

JEFF – JUST IN FROM A FRIEND–REPLY BY FREDDIE MAC to this memo – PLEASE ADVISE:

Sherry,

I spoke directly with Freddie Mac, and they assured me that the “newsletter”, dated 4/12/2010…. IS,
the OFFICIAL policy of Freddie Mac.

This would make the 3LawyerUpdate position statement, incorrect.

I submitted an inquiry to Freddie Mac a week ago, and just received their response today.

If you like, I can give you the Freddie Mac’s representatives’ name, and number.

I decided to personally verify this, and contact Freddie Mac directly.

Interesting…

Here’s the Freddie Mac contact refernce the comment above.

The Freddie Mac representative, who called me back, was “Shante Balzer” at 703.903.3686.

Not sure if I spelled her name correctly.

Please review my earlier blog post re HAFA, some are recent and some go back to December 3, 2009. Most of your questions should be answered there.

Freddie is aware of the contradiction in their position. The matter is not finalized.

The discussion with senior and high level representatives of Freddie Mac is ongoing. Continued pressure on local reps is unproductive.
