Fannie Mae announces “Deed for Lease™” program

Fannie Mae last week announced a new Deed for Lease™ program.  Deed for Lease allows borrowers to transfer their property back to the lender and then lease back the house at market rate.  The lease period is for up to 12 months, with possible month-to-month contract extensions after that period.  The program is designed for borrowers who do not qualify for or have not been able to obtain other loan-workout solutions, such as a loan modification.

To participate in the program, borrowers must live in the home as their primary residence and must be released from any subordinate liens on the property. Tenants of borrowers in this circumstance also may be eligible for leases under the program. Borrowers or tenants interested in a lease must be able to document that the new market rental rate is no more than 31 percent of their gross income. more
