Conditions are ripe to unload servicing assets, either on a flow or bulk basis. One factor: a fear of higher tax rates.

The long running M&A saga of Genworth and its foreign suitor finally ended this week. Also, look for an FHA MIP cut down the road?

It stands to reason that rising rates would fuel servicing valuations. Some brokers expect a strong second quarter in sales, with the third quarter even better.

Plush with record earnings, loanDepot is building an inhouse servicing system, which means its current vendor, eventually, will lose business. Meanwhile, is GSE reform a possibility once again?

A change in plans for Caliber’s MSR sales? Looks that way but bidders will get another shot. Meanwhile, servicing values are firming up.

Caliber, as a technical matter, still plans on selling shares to the public. But the company also is in the market with a huge flow deal. Confused?

When rates rise, all sorts of things can happen, like IPO-bound firms opting for a sale instead.

New Residential posted a net income of $68.6 million in the fourth quarter; Ocwen continued its losing streak, coming up $7 million in the red.

Suddenly, it’s a great time to sell servicing rights. But if too many offload receivables at the same time, prices could suffer. A conundrum in the making?

With a wad of cash from its initial public offering, UWM has a boatload of options. One of them: hanging onto residential receivables.
