A company like TWO would have to finance all servicing obligations (missing pmts) in connection with the delinquent loans and wouldn't be able to recover the advance or recognize ancillary revenue until the loan is... login to read the rest
Announcing a common dividend at this point is a fairly declarative statement. I'm frankly surprised, but obviously this is excellent signalling for Two Harbor's confidence in their liquidity, and therefore very good news for the preferreds.... login to read the rest
Just to be more specific on the previous question:
Since they outsource their servicing, does the outsourcer immediately get more payment once a mortgage becomes deliquent? Do you have any idea how much more they pay
Thanks for the write up.
How do you think about the value of the MSRs now that many of these mortgages may go delinquent. My asusmption is the MSRs are worth less but just not sure... login to read the rest
Hey ad17, big fan of your analyses and work in general, thanks for contributing to the thread. TWO also put out a press release on Friday, no mention of Lazard but their BV estimates haven't... login to read the rest
InfrmtnOverflow,
I was just writing this when I saw your comment; I agree with Piper's numbers but do think that we'll have lower than usual prepayments / refi activity in the next two months given social... login to read the rest
A SandPiper piece also useful on this today:
our best guess on peak forbearance levels are 8-10% for GSE loans and 10-15% for Ginnie loans.

With $1.8bn in equity and only agency mortgages at 7.5x economic leverage on the asset side I'm really not sure how you can get to zero in the equity.
I appreciate your comment on Lazard though... login to read the rest
Onwers of MSRs have to front principal & interest (P&I) to Fannie and Freddie if the underlying borrowers go into forbearance. They have the option to do so for a limited amount of time. Most... login to read the rest

Rookie - apologies but I just wanted to clarify your question as it relates to TWO. Are you saying that TWO as an agency mortgage holder may have to depend on the first loss obligors... login to read the rest
Hi David. Thanks for the good questions, I think you're poking at the right. The repo is provided by RBC, Barclays and 22 other undisclosed counterparties.

Thanks for the question.
This is somewhat cursory but on the pure agency side AGNC and NLY are fine. AI seems to be making it to the other side as well somewhat surprisingly (they were pretty... login to read the rest
Thanks for a good idea. Do you have any opinion on which mREIT's don't survive? There are the Annaly's of the world which have essentially already been bailed out. Then there are the AG Mortgage's of... login to read the rest
