it’s coming.  Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are goign to be bailed out and put under strict governmental control.  What does it mean for Investors?   Tighter lending standards for homebuyers and consequently, less buyers qualifying for loans.  So, more tenants who would have qualified for mortgage loans….   Eventually - 18 months, 36 months????   Lending standards will be relaxed and the tenants will qualify for a loan.  Guess what home they will want to buy?  The one  where they have lived, raised their families, made friends with the neighbors, sent their children to the neighborhood schools, made improvements, etc.
