Article Highlights:
On April 1, 2022, Bonnie Sinnock from National Mortgage News published a timely article with key considerations for getting the most out of retaining mortgage servicing rights (MSRs). As interest rates rise and refinance volumes decline, deriving income from MSRs has become a focus for lenders to increase income. She cites 5 ways lenders who retain their MSRs can get the most out of them.
- Ask about fees when shopping for MSR financing
- Cut conveyance costs
- Analyze retention rates by loan channel
- Examine differences in escrow, remittance, and markets
- Know how competitive subservicing and tech offerings are
For those of us who have been in the mortgage industry for a long time, know that these are not new considerations. But they reinforce the cyclical nature of this business and how we are back to relying on servicing in a rising interest rate environment.
