Shakeup At Fannie Mae

Today, we are taking a closer look at last week’s executive shakeup at Fannie Mae. A lot of market commentators are treating this as a simple administrative hurdle—telling investors to prepare for extended processing times and minor closing delays.

While extended processing times are annoying, that perspective misses the real danger facing real estate investors today.

The major risk isn’t that your loan officer takes an extra few weeks to get back to you. The major risk is abrupt policy volatility. High-level executive changes at government-sponsored enterprises don't just swap out office nameplates—they signal an imminent shift in lending policy.
