Question ID: 2690
I need to find a workable financial model for translating a mortgage loan 
servicing portfolio so as to value it as an asset.  This portfolio is approx. 
75 loans, with maturities of up to 5 years, most of which have prepayment 
penalties.  Any thoughts?

Robair,

I just need a clarification of your question. I believe I understand but I want 
to be sure.

Do you have a loan portfolio that you retain in-house and that you service 
yourself?
Or do you retain the loans but outsource the loan servicing? Or do you 
originate and sell the loans but retain the servicing?
Or do you perform loan servicing services for a 3rd party's portfolio?

Thanks,

RD

We provide the servicing in house.  We originate the loans, sell them
off to investors, and retain the servicing with a spread.  Thanks for
your help.

Dear Robair,


Thank you for your inquiry.

In researching your request, I believe I have discovered 2 things. 
First, that the financial folks who come up with a financial model for
the valuation of a servicing portfolio seem to then keep it mum and
then consult and speak on their findings.  Second, I found that the
valuation of a servicing portfolio is quite complex.  I asked Rob
Fear, Vice President of Mortgage Industry Advisor, what factors go
into their financial model he gave a few examples: discounted cash
flow, servicing fees, interest on escrow accounts, float on P&I, float
on prepayments, late fees, discount rates of cash flows, risk
evaluation of the portfolio.

I was unable to find a site where someone published his or her
specific financial model.  So, I have 2 paths for you: 1 - Find a 3rd
party or consultant that already has a financial model and pay them to
perform the evaluation of your portfolio or 2 – Read or a take a
course on valuation of servicing portfolios from the Mortgage Bankers
Association.



Consultants – 3rd party valuation
Here are a few resources that will use the financial models to value
your servicing portfolio for you.

Mortgage Industry Advisory Co
http://www.servicing.com/ips/main.htm
I spoke to Rob Fear on your behalf, gave him as much of your loan
portfolio profile as I had and without knowing more specifics of your
portfolio, he gave me a ballpark estimate of $1000.  You can go to
MIAC’s site and download their template, input your servicing
portfolio (detailed instructions are on their site), and then email it
to them.  They will contact you with more specific pricing
information.  Or you can call Rob at 212-233-1250 x230.

Mortgage Banking Magazine

Mortgage Banking Magazine lists companies that perform servicing
portfolio valuation services.

Bill Draving Company, Inc.
http://www.draving.com/bdci/bdabout.htm#service
I found this gentleman on the web and his background seemed
appropriate for your needs since he also has his CPA license.  Bill
was president of two major Texas mortgage companies. He was Executive
Vice President for a company, which grew from a 20,000 loan-servicing
portfolio to a portfolio of well over 140,000 loans. Bill managed the
loan servicing operation as well as the data processing operation.
Other positions included Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice
President of Strategic Planning.  He holds a Bachelor of Science
degree from Drexel University in Philadelphia. He received an MBA in
Finance from the University of Texas. Currently, he teaches Finance at
the University of Texas in San Antonio. Bill is a Certified Public
Accountant who also holds professional certification in Management
Accounting and Data Processing.
