Life of a Loan • Application is taken from the borrower over the internet, over the phone, or in person. • The mortgage is underwritten to ensure the borrower is deemed credit worthy. • Information is gathered from the borrower, a title company, and an appraiser to support the underwriting decision. • The loan is closed. Documents are signed and funds are exchanged. • The mortgage broker sells the loan to a Wholesaler/Servicer. • If the Wholesale/Servicer does not want to retain the loan, then they sell the loan to an Investor otherwise the Servicer is also the Investor. • The Investor securitizes the mortgage in a pool of similar mortgages. • The borrower makes their monthly payments to the Servicer which is then passed through to the holder of the Mortgage Backed Security.
