Press Release
Sun West announces that its state-of-the-art reverse mortgage origination, loan servicing, and participation agent technology ReverseSoft is fully compliant with APM-11-06.
On April 18, 2011, Ginnie Mae issued APM-11-06 which changed the Servicing Fee Margin requirements for HMBS issuers. Under APM-11-06, issuers will be able to select an increased servicing margin of up to 150 basis points. Also, the previous floor has been increased from 25 basis points (bps) to 36 basis points.
Continuing as the industry leader, Sun West announced that ReverseSoft technology will enhance issuer liquidity because it has the ability to track, account, and report to Ginnie Mae and end -investors varying servicing fees on Reparticipations of a single loan. For example, consider a scenario where a HECM loan with an unpaid principal balance of $100,000 has been securitized in a pool earning a servicing margin fee 120bps. Over time, interest accrues, and draws on the loan's available line of credit occur, and the loan's balance (e.g. the borrower's total indebtedness) increases. The issuer recovers its cash advances to the borrower by securitizing the increase in the loan balance into a new pool -"Reparticipation". Due to changing market conditions, the Reparticipation may need to be issued at a different servicing margin than that at which the loans were initially securitized.
ReverseSoft gives the issuer the ability to select a different servicing margin on this and any other new, subsequent security.
As such, issuers that manage their HMBS servicing portfolio with Reversesoft have enhanced liquidity through the freedom to securitize subsequent advances on a HECM loan at varying coupons.
"We are excited about the unique value we bring to our partners through ReverseSoft," said Pavan Agarwal, CEO, Sun West Mortgage Company. "The ability to use technology to leverage earnings has been the cornerstone of our philosophy, and we invite partners to capitalize on our investments."
