The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), commonly known as Fannie Mae, was created in 1938 as part of the New Deal to address the housing crisis during the Great Depression. Its primary purpose was to increase the availability of mortgage funds to stimulate the housing market and support homeownership among Americans. By purchasing and guaranteeing mortgages, Fannie Mae aimed to enhance liquidity in the mortgage market, making it easier for lenders to provide loans to homebuyers.

How can you find out if your mortgage is insured by fannie may or Freddie mac?

What if you are trying to buy a FNMA house and the lender requires repairs before closing?

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."

Where do you send service of process to Federal National Mortgage Association?

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.
