   Mortgage warehouse lenders face collateral shortfalls as rates rise

   2 outlets · first: National Law Review Banking

   Machine summary The article examines how higher rates can push the resale value of pledged mortgages below outstanding warehouse advances and describes contractual protections such as adjustable advance rates and TBA hedge requirements.

   1. Warehouse lenders fund originators with short-term credit secured by newly originated mortgages; the loans are typically held on the line for weeks or months before sale to a take-out investor such as Fannie Mae.
   2. When rates rise after funding, loans carrying below-market coupons are worth less to buyers, and the resale value can fall below the outstanding warehouse advance, producing a shortfall if the collateral cushion is exhausted.
   3. The article states warehouse lenders have navigated large rate swings over decades, attributing that resilience to contract provisions refined over that period.
   4. Listed protections include advance rates that adjust as collateral values change and collateral packages reflecting the originator's net economic exposure rather than gross loan value.
   5. The piece describes requiring forward sale commitments or TBA hedges covering at least a specified percentage of warehoused-loan market value, plus reporting on each hedge's notional amount, price and counterparty, and security interests extending to rights in TBA trades and MBS forward contracts.
