Background: The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), an organizational unit within HUD, administers the single-family mortgage insurance program. FHA ensures approved lenders against the risk of loss on loans they finance for the purchase, and in some instance’s rehabilitation, of single-family homes. In the event of a default on an FHA insured loan, the lender acquires title to the property by foreclosure, a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other acquisition method, files a claim for insurance benefits and conveys the property to HUD. As a result of acquisitions through the mortgage insurance program and other programs, HUD has a need to manage and sell a sizable inventory of single-family homes in a manner that promotes home ownership, preserves communities, and maximizes return to the FHA insurance funds. HUD is the largest single seller of real estate in the US. HUD administers the Real Estate Owned (REO) disposition program through four, Homeownership Centers (HOC) located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; Denver, Colorado; and Santa Ana, California. Each HOC is responsible for a designated geographic area. HUD has developed a disposition structure for the management and marketing of REO inventory that streamlines its operations, capitalizes on the expertise of its potential Contractors, and provides flexibility to meet changing market conditions in the real estate owned (REO) industry. The following is a summary of HUD's disposition structure which highlights the purpose and objectives of each M&M Contractor: Mortgagee Compliance Manager (MCM): The Mortgagee Compliance Manager performs a variety of pre- and post-property conveyance services to ensure that HUD's interests are protected.
