Fannie Mae has been private and 10 years ago was seized by the government and the proposal is to release them back to private, so shareholders can reap the benefits instead of the government without upsetting the real estate market.

Fannie Mae was a private insurance company that had been around since 1938, but because of the mortgage crisis in 2008, the federal government took them over... When they did that, they added a "G-Fee".. basically, additional profit that went directly to the federal government.. Since all the funds that the federal government gave to Fannie Mae to bail them out has been repaid, (years ago actually) it's now time to release them from the government's grips.. Once that happens, expect interest rates to drop on conventional about 1/2% to 3/4%.. I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets.

This will likely never ever happen. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have become gigantic cash cows to the U.S. Treasury with their criminal "G-Fees." Once politicians have our money, they will never give it up.
