Loans Subject to Repurchase from Ginnie Mae

6. Loans Subject to Repurchase from Ginnie Mae

Forward loans are sold to Ginnie Mae in conjunction with the issuance of mortgage backed securities. The Company, as the issuer of the mortgage backed securities, has the unilateral right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including payments not being received from borrowers for greater than 90 days. Once the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase a delinquent loan, it has effectively regained control over the loan and recognizes these rights to the loan on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and establishes a corresponding repurchase liability regardless of the Company’s intention to repurchase the loan. The Company had loans subject to repurchase from Ginnie Mae of $2,703 and $6,159 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which are included in both other assets and payables and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Loans subject to repurchase from Ginnie Mae as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include $2,486 and $5,879 loans in forbearance related to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), respectively, whereby no payments have been received from borrowers for greater than 90 days.
