    paragraph_quote: 'E-4.3-02, Inspecting Properties Post-Foreclosure Sale (11/13/2019)
      Generally, Fannie Mae’s designated broker, agent, or property management company
      will complete all Published May 13, 2026 490 necessary inspections for acquired
      properties. However, under certain circumstances, Fannie Mae may require the
      servicer to conduct a post-foreclosure sale inspection for an acquired property.
      The servicer must also conduct any post-foreclosure sale property inspections
      that FHA and VA require for properties that are conveyed to them. Fannie Mae
      will reimburse the servicer for the costs of any post-foreclosure property inspection
      in the following instances: when Fannie Mae requires the servicer to conduct
      the post-foreclosure sale property inspection; and when the post-foreclosure
      sale inspection is required by FHA and VA, to the extent that the expenses can
      legitimately be included in an insurance or loan guaranty claim. See D2-2-10,
      Requirements for Performing Property Inspections for requirements when a property
      inspection is needed and A4-2.1-02, Property Inspection Vendor Management and
      Oversight for additional requirements for property inspection vendors. The servicer
      must also follow the procedures in Reimbursement for Property Inspections and
      Property Preservation Expenses in F-1-05, Expense Reimbursement to seek reimbursement
      for inspection costs. Recent Related Announcements The table below provides
