Fannie Mae will make it easier for some struggling homeowners to buy houses in the future if they avoid foreclosure in the present.
Under rules released this month that will take effect in Jul 2010, some troubled borrowers who give up their homes by voluntarily transferring ownership through a "deed in lieu of foreclosure" or by completing a short sale, where a home is sold for less than the amount owed, will be eligible in two years to apply for a new mortgage backed by Fannie.
