The multifamily industry is experiencing a wave of loan-repurchase requests coming from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These requests can have a significant impact on M&A activity, as lenders monitor potential buyouts and potential deficiencies in loans that may be subject to repurchase.

Real estate transaction professionals say the loan-repurchase requests have been growing increasingly more common, to the point where it’s becoming nearly impossible to monitor potential buy-side candidates without keeping a close eye on the loan-repurchase market. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have often been quicker to demand a repurchase of a loan if it’s found to be deficient or noncompliant.

The industry implications of loan-repurchase requests intensifying are significant. Potential buyers of multifamily properties need to pay special attention to potential request liabilities and any potential deficiencies that could be flagged.
