Question about earnest money when submitting a offer to a REO owned by Fannie Mae

Michael Sanders

Posted

I'm trying to submit an offer for an REO property owed by Fannie Mae right now through my realtor.

My question is can I wait until my offer is accepted by Fannie Mae before I actually make the earnest money deposit with the title company, or do I have to actually deposit the earnest money before Fannie Mae will give an acceptance to my offer?

EM will be due if your offer is accepted. If you don't have a preapproval or a legit POF, your offer won't be accepted.
