Mortgage Banking Value Chain Preview 14:42

Mortgage banking involves three major areas of activities: loan production, secondary marketing, and servicing. Each of these activities is normally performed in a separate unit or department of the bank or mortgage banking company.

○         The loan production unit originates processes, underwrites, and closes mortgage loans.

○         The secondary marketing unit develops, prices, and sells loan products and delivers loans to permanent investors also it is responsible for the pipeline and warehouse management which involves managing price risk from loan commitments and loans held-for-sale.

The servicing unit (sometimes referred to as loan administration) collects monthly payments from borrowers; remits payments to the permanent investor or security holder; handles contacts with borrowers about delinquencies, assumptions, and escrow accounts; and pays real estate tax and insurance premiums as they become due.

An Introduction Preview 04:11

In this lecture you will get a brief idea on what is Loan Servicing and what all the entities involved in loan servicing.

Servicing As a Process Preview 12:01

Once the loan has been closed by the loan originator with the help of closing agents, the loan has to be set up by the servicer in its systems. The loan setup includes creating a loan-id with all the specific details regarding borrower, collateral, originator added to the servicer database. The loan setup also includes taking note of all the financial details (e.g. interest rate, payment period, cash inflow, amortization schedule) regarding the loan. The loan servicing process starts after the loan has been setup in the servicer’s systems.

Loan Servicing Players Preview 11:16

As discussed in the previous sections, some originators sell the loan servicing rights to firms that specialize in this area so that the originators themselves may focus on origination and leave loan servicing to specialized entities. Some of these specialized entities are firms that are pure loan servicers who purchase pools of loan after origination and manage only the servicing function. Other firms perform this task in varying degrees and at varying geographical coverage. Given the variety of firms involved in Loan Servicing, it is worthwhile to discuss the various players involved in this area.

An Introduction Preview 03:07

Banks raise deposits and use the money to provide loans & mortgages. So the ability of a bank to provide loans is limited by the extent to which it can raise deposits. This, on an aggregate scale, also limits the total demand that the mortgage market can manage.

 In order to increase this limit, the secondary market evolved. Unlike the primary market, which concerns all the processes required to bring a mortgage into existence, the Secondary Mortgage Market is that portion of the mortgage market in which lenders, government-sponsored agencies, private conduits and investors buy, sell and trade existing mortgages. This market serves as an outlet to sell the originated loans to help generate funds for continued lending.

 The secondary market plays a very important role in the national economy. For the home buyer, the secondary market makes funds and a wide array of financing alternatives available. For the lender, it can increase profits and help reduce the risks of mortgage lending by making available a liquid market for mortgages.

Secondary Market Players Preview 15:21

Participants in the secondary mortgage today include lenders, investors, and middlemen. Each fulfills many different roles including buying and selling mortgages or acting as middlemen. Most participants are companies and not individuals. The roles are not exclusive. Often participants in the mortgage market play more than one role, simultaneously buying and selling mortgages or acting in the capacity of a middleman. One loan may be sold several times from investor to investor. The secondary market consists of GSEs, private investors, banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds and mortgages investment trusts that buy and sell mortgages as an income stream for their portfolio.   

Secondary Marketing, As a Process Preview 27:55

Secondary Marketing basically consists of the following processes -

a) Loan Sales - Sell whole loans, participations and mortgage-backed securities

b) Product & Pricing - Price loans in correlation to ever-changing market forces so that the company produces value from the loans it produces

c) Pipeline Management - Keep track of the warehouse line limits and requirements. Using the pipeline reports, estimate how many loans will close, when they will close, and how the company will fund those closings

d) Risk Management - Monitor and manage risks in the mortgage market such as interest rate fluctuation

e) Shipping & Delivery - Preparing and delivering documents to investors as quickly as possible to avoid interest rate risk, to meet commitments, and to release the warehouse line for new lending.

You will learn about all of this in details.

Secondary Market, Types of Sales Preview 08:32

Selling closed loans to investors generates funds to continue making loans. Ideally, the mortgage banker accomplishes mortgage origination and sales at a profit or breaks even. Some loan sales, however, will cause the mortgage banker to incur a loss. Such losses are acceptable as long as they fall within the company's established guidelines and are minimal. Lenders, government-sponsored agencies and investors exchange mortgages in the secondary mortgage market in the following forms - Whole loans, Participation and mortgage-backed securities.
