Mortgage Investors Corp. here, the largest VA refi specialist in the nation, has decided to keep the servicing rights it originates instead of selling its production servicing-released.
MIC, though, will not be doing the servicing chores itself. The privately-held mortgage banker has hired GMAC Mortgage, Horsham, Pa., as its subservicer.
"We will own the servicing rights, but GMAC will be the contractor," said MIC chief executive Bill Edwards.
In other words, when consumers sign onto MIC's website to check their mortgage account, they will see the MIC name, but GMAC will be doing all the underlying work.
"It's a total private label arrangement," said Mr. Edwards. The past two years, GMAC has made a big push into the subservicing arena.
MIC hopes to produce upwards of $6 billion in residential loans this year, almost all of it Veterans Administration refinancings.
It anticipates that its servicing portfolio will total at least $3 billion by year-end.
