Luckily, these disparate factors can be reconciled so that the path ahead is cleared for efficient servicing.

Explore the Significance of Late Fee Revenue in Servicing
In this volume, industry experts determine how late fee income affects the value of servicing.
Learn strategies for using CBL (Current But Late) borrowers, credit quality, and projected delinquency to determine the best course of action as you scrutinize your next steps in MSR valuation.
We all know there are correlations between CBL and FICO to inform your decisions and that servicing your loan is best done with a wide-viewed perspective, but not all models take this important variable into account.
In Vol. 2 of Servicing Insights we will explore how the new Desktop Servicing Model (now MSRlive!) takes these factors into account, empowering you with the confidence that all avenues have been analyzed. Servicing Insights Volume 2 explains how the highest credit score may not always be the best MSR and how to accurately assess LTV (Loan to Value) in relationship to FICO scores as an important step in valuation.
Examine the contradictory motivations of the investor and servicer with visual guides that harmonize and unify these divergent perspectives to help your business be more successful with late fee revenue generation.
