Non-Performing (NPL) AND RE-PERFORMING Loan  (RPL) Sales

The sale of NPLs and RPLs by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) reduces the number of delinquent loans held in their inventories and transfers credit and interest rate risk to the private sector. Additionally, data provided by NPL buyers’ servicers over time show more favorable outcomes for borrowers than if the NPLs stayed in Enterprise portfolio through resolution. Purchasers of Enterprise NPLs and RPLs are subject to requirements published by FHFA, which have been enhanced over time, most recently 2023.
