Loan Funding & Securitization

Loan sales, warehouse facilities, asset-backed securities, guarantees and the distribution of lending cash flows and losses.

Asset-backed securities: how cash, losses and funding move through a deal

~6 min read3 sources2 versions
Summary & changes

Securitization connects loan originators with investors through a contractual cash-flow waterfall. Understand tranches, principal repayment, reserves, triggers and retained exposure before interpreting a coupon or funding announcement.

Version note: Expanded the short primer into a full analysis of issuer, investor, servicer and customer economics; corrected the worked example to distinguish cash allocations from noncash charge-offs and added a balanced cash waterfall and loss sensitivity.

Loan sales and forward flows: funding, distribution and the customer relationship

~8 min read7 sources3 versions
Summary & changes

Loan sales connect originators with investors and can recycle funding capacity. Evaluate price, settlement, servicing, investor demand and retained obligations separately to understand who earns what and who continues serving the customer.

Version note: Broadened loan-sale analysis to distribution and servicing economics; added the distinction between ownership and customer service and explained investor-demand feedback into product availability.

Warehouse funding: how loans move from origination to sale

~7 min read3 sources2 versions
Summary & changes

A warehouse line connects loan production with investor settlement. Available capacity depends on eligibility, advance rates, timing and operating execution, with direct consequences for closings and customer commitments.

Version note: Added the origination-to-sale operating chain and a mortgage settlement-delay example; connected borrowing-base mechanics to throughput, customer commitments and funding economics.
