Why might some MSR buyers pay more for recent higher-coupon portfolios than their peers? They’re confident they can recapture the customer when a refi is “in the money.”
Rice Park Capital Management signed a deal with Rosegate Mortgage to provide home financing opportunities to customers of Nexus Nova, which owns MSR on Rice Park’s behalf.
