Second Can Be Better Than First

Unlike first lien notes, servicing second lien notes requires less care as there is no requirement to maintain tax and insurance escrow accounts. Regardless of economic conditions, there were, are, and always will be residential mortgages in default. While pricing is low today, so are Horne values. As the supply of defaulted mortgages decreases, pricing will rise and come into balance with rising Horne values. Finally, there is a vacuum in private mortgage investment companies that perform the workouts and subsequent servicing of the mortgages. By simply searching the internet for “note companies” you will be hard pressed to find a self-contained buyer-workout-servicing company. Instead you will find brokers, brokers and more brokers. This is where the market recognizes and rewards the value of your company’s services.
