FHFA Announces Second REO Transaction in Chicago

October 5, 2012
The Federal Housing Finance Agency this week announced a second winning bidder of its pilot program to move GSE real estate-owned properties from money-losing foreclosures to money-making rentals and eventually off the books entirely. The FHFA announced that New York-based Cogsville Group LLC was the winning bidder of 94 Fannie Mae-owned properties as part of the FHFA’s REO pilot initiative. The firm paid $2.1 million for a share in a joint venture with Fannie, resulting in an estimated transaction value to the GSE of $11.8 million or 86.2 percent of the properties’ estimated value, according to the transaction summary.
