Additional information about this opportunity:
Over the last several years, defaults in residential mortgages have left Fannie Mae holding title to a large inventory of foreclosed properties, many of which require some amount of repair before they may be marketed for resale. Current foreclosure volumes are prompting Fannie Mae to seek additional repair contractors who can meet Fannie Mae's requirements for quality and responsiveness.
