FNMA & FHLMC are not insurers they buy mortgages in the secondary market. FNMA & FHLMC can "own" your mortgage but your mortgage would be insured by a "Private Mortgage Insurance" (PMI) Company.
FNMA sticks to their guns and does not vary from the "as is" line, even for HUD types of issues that come about because of the appraisal. So, here's what you do. You get an addendum to the contract stating that "FNMA authorizes [sellers realtor] to [whatever needs doing.] Do it right away when your lender/appraisal notes what the seller has to do. Then, you can hire who you wish or do the work yourself so that the appraisal will pass. Otherwise, the time may go by until FNMA responds and you'll miss your contract dates and the reason will be "buyer can't obtain financing."
There are a few Reverse Mortgage products that can be used to buy homes. The FNMA Homekeeper is one of them. You have to put down a hefty downpayment, say 50% or more. Lenders have their own overlays on how much you have to use as a downpayment. From there you apply for the FNMA Homekeeper loan like any other real estate loan. The nice part is that you have no mortgage payments! Typically if a senior currently owns a home and wants to sell and buy elsewhere, if you have ample equity in your existing home, you can take out a home equity line of credit (cheaper than a new 1st mortgage) and use that equity for the downpayment for the new home. You than could use the large downpayment for the new home purchase using the FNMA Homekeeper reverse mortgage. Than sell your existing home after the new home purchase. Another way is to take a regular reverse mortgage out on your existing home, and use that money to plunk down on the new purchase and use the FNMA Homekeeper loan to purchase the new home, than sell your existing property. Make sure and check with individual lender rules on how many outstanding Reverse mortgages you can have at one time. Best of luck.
Working with a foreclosing lender is never an easy task. Best practices dictate that the board work with its counsel to file the proper paperwork and send the invoices to the proper address, and file the proper documents that cloud the title sufficient to have some chance of collecting the assessments due from the property at the time of sale.
The term "Fannie Mae" comes from the abbreviation for the true name of Fannie Mae--the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). FNMA is a government-sponsored entity. For more, see http://www.fanniemae.com/kb/index?page=home&c=aboutus
You need to contact FNMA with the address and ask. If you want to know if FNMA holds a mortgage (or has foreclosed on the property) you can check that out in the local land records office by researching the name of the owner of the property and by looking at any mortgages and their assignments.
I served (1) the civil process clerk for the United States Attorney for the state (there is a federal civil procedure rule for guidance here) and according to the state laws for service as well, with a copy sent directly to the headquarters in Washington DC. FNMA might not need service upon the civil process clerk but FHFA has taken conservatorship, plus the FNMA has a special position with its own federal charter.
