What Do You Think? • Describe the business strategy of selling mortgage loans. Why is it the most popular residential mortgage loan strategy today? • What alternatives does a mortgage originator have for the residential mortgage loans that have been originated? What are the pros and cons of each?
What Do You Think? • Identify and discuss the inherent risk of residential mortgage origination. • What are the major benefits that a mortgage lender derives from selling loans into the secondary mortgage market?
What Do You Think? • What steps must a mortgage lender go through before it can sell loans into the secondary market? • What are loan commitments and why are they so important in secondary mortgage market transactions? • Explain the pricing options that a lender has when selling loans into the secondary mortgage market.
Check Your Understanding • Sales to the secondary mortgage market have recently been over $3 trillion a year. • A conforming loan is one that is at or below the maximum loan amount for sale in the secondary mortgage market. • A nonstandard mortgage loan is one that does not conform to the processing/underwriting standards of the secondary market. • Ultimately all mortgage loans can be sold to some investor. • Interest rate risk is not considered a reason to sell loans in the secondary market.
Check Your Understanding • Because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were originally started by the federal government, any mortgage lender can sell loans without being approved to do so. • Commitments are critical to successful mortgage lending for those lenders that sell mortgages. • The price an investor will pay for a mortgage loan (i.e., the yield on the mortgage) determines the value of that loan in the secondary market. • One a loan has been sold to an investor the principle and interest payment belong to the seller until the first of the month. • Weighted-average yield is a tool for calculating yield of a single mortgage that is two or more years old.
