In a article published by The Arizona Republic on July 27, 2012 @ 4:30 pm written by Catherine Reagor it's alleging that Fannie Mae is purchasing their own REOs through a LLC that Fannie created. To read the article yourself, follow this link, http://www.azcentral.com/business/realestate/articles/20120727mystery-buyer-snaps-up-foreclosure-homes.html
I reached out to the REOPro community to verify this article and it's accuracy and I recevied some interesting information. From a confidential informant, I got a copy of the Arizona Corporation Commission vi State of Arizona Public Acess System...see below...

Of course, we all will have our own opinoins on if this is a good or bad idea but, I got an even more intersesting article sent to me that said, "
The address that Fannie Mae used in "creating" this LLC is in the same building as East West Bank, a subsidiary of East West Bancorp, which is a Chinese-owned bank. Yes, this is the same East West Bank that received $306.5 Million in TARP money. So, not only were buyers in our market robbed of the opportunity to purchase 275 homes, but it appears that they were sold to a Chinese Bank. Thus, the reason they are trying to hide it from the American people."
Now, once again, I can't verify any of this but, if anyone can independently verify this information I would greatly apreciative.
