Read the addendum closely. I will bet it probably says that a Fannie Mae lender for a new buyer will require the six months.

If you buy a property from anyone, you have the right to sell it for ten times that amount the next day. No one can control your profit. A lender can restrict a buyer from overpaying (in their eyes), however.

When I tried to get an REO under contract, it had an addendum that I could not sell for more than 20% within 6 months after closing. I flip houses in 3 months. Do all REOs, and HUD,VA for that matter, have this addendum?

Lionel,

No, they don’t all have this addendum. I’ve heard about it lately, but I’m not sure if it’s enforceable. Ask your lawyer.
