Recently, however, an increasing number of the largest non-bank mortgage loan originators have established their own funding conduits that allow them direct access to the capital markets. A single-seller mortgage loan warehouse funding facility (“Single Seller Facility”) functions without the use of commercial credit facilities or back-up liquidity lines by issuing extendible, asset-backed commercial paper notes. This article examines a typical structure for a Single Seller Facility; some of the related structural issues such as types of notes and related liquidity features, liquidity and interest rate protection, credit enhancement, structural protections, and taxable mortgage pool issues; benefits to the issuer/sponsor of establishing this type of facility; and how this market may develop in the future for other financial assets.
