How do I contact Fannie Mae? FNMA property

[Sergey Tkachev]

I think this is a somewhat unusual question as I searched and wasn't able to find a specific answer.

I found a boarded property that just recently transferred ownership from the prior owner to Fannie Mae, the deed appears that it was a foreclosure and recorded just a month ago.  In addition, there is a code enforcement case on it that is a couple years old and still open.

My question:  How do I contact Fannie Mae to purchase the property before they list it or auction it off?  In essence, I'm trying to buy it before other competition comes around.  Is that even possible, or are they obligated to sell all properties via auction / mls?

Is there an asset manager who can be contacted re the specific property?  It is in the Sacramento area.  Or do I have to wait for it to appear on Homepath and try to buy it the usual way?

Any suggestions would be really appreciated :)

You have to wait, you can't buy it before it hits the market.
