A secondary mortgage market is where an investor, in this case the U.S. government, purchases, or re-imburses the original lender for the value of the principal so that the original lender doesn't have to wait 30 years to collect the money it is owed, and can create a new loan faster with the original principal. FNMA then packages loans together of similiar value and credit worthiness and resells them to other investors, such as pension funds, etc.

FNMA is a [[New Deal]] agency founded in 1938 by the U.S. government which did more to benefit big [[Wall Street]] banks than the common man by allowing banks to re-lend the same money over and over again versus ordinary folks who could scarcely afford a home during the [[Great Depression]].
