WASHINGTON, Nov. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae (OTC Bulletin Board: FNMA) today announced the winning bidders for its ninth and tenth Community Impact Pools of non-performing loans. The transaction is expected to close on January 12, 2018, and includes approximately 690 loans totaling $124.12 million in unpaid principal balance (UPB), divided between two pools; the loans in pool 1 are in a larger geographically dispersed area and the loans in pool 2 are in New York City. The winning bidders for the transaction were the Community Loan Fund of New Jersey Inc. (NJCC) for Pool 1 and Preserving City Neighborhoods Housing Development Fund Cooperation for Pool 2. Both firms are non-profit entities.

In collaboration with Bank of America Merrill Lynch and First Financial Network, Inc., Fannie Mae began marketing these loans to potential bidders on October 11, 2017.

The loan pools awarded in this most recent transaction include:

Pool 1: 635 loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $110,265,681; average loan size of $173,647; weighted average note rate of 5.64%; weighted average delinquency of 43 months; and weighted average broker's price opinion loan-to-value ratio of 82%.

Pool 2: 55 loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $13,860,506; average loan size of $252,009; weighted average note rate of 6.62%; weighted average delinquency of 68 months; and weighted average broker's price opinion loan-to-value ratio of 65%.

The cover bids, which are the second highest bids, for the Community Impact Pools are 85.02% of UPB (55.26% of broker's price opinion) for Pool 1 and 89.87% of UPB (43.66% of broker's price opinion) for Pool 2.

On September 27, 2017, the Federal Housing Finance Agency announced additional enhancements to its requirements for sales of non-performing loans by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that build on requirements originally announced in March 2015 and apply to this Fannie Mae non-performing loan sale. These added enhancements encourage sustainable modifications that have the potential to give more borrowers the opportunity for home retention by requiring evaluation of underwater borrowers for modifications that may include principal and/or arrearage forgiveness; forbidding "walking away" from vacant homes; and establishing more specific proprietary loan modification standards.
