Abstract

When housing finance specialist Larry Dale comes to the Federal National Mortgage Association, he successfully creates a financing instrument that allows Fannie Mae to share the risks of multifamily housing loans with other private housing lenders. His success contrasts sharply with the failure of a similar program at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In this case, Dale reflects on the lessons he draws from the different outcomes.
