“What do delinquencies and foreclosure have to do with the value of servicing? Well, collection costs add to expenses, reducing the revenue stream from servicing. If the delinquency progresses further into foreclosure, there are further processing costs, such as loss mitigation and legal prep costs.” – Excerpt from Servicing Insights Vol. 1
