Most mortgage bankers follow the business model of generating small returns on large number of loan transactions. The amount of income – fee income and other non-interest income – generated in mortgage banking is primarily controlled by the marketplace and competition. A profitable mortgage banking business, then depends on controlling expenses of the operations. Individual components of the mortgage banking operations must be effectively monitored and managed. Such scenario makes the role of an effective Encompass360 Administrator much more demanding.
Production costs can be critical in the mortgage banking, here is a scenario;
The costs in production of mortgage loans can be fixed costs and variable costs.
It’s essential for the viability of a mortgage originating operation to have fixed cost personnel to be retained.
These fixed cost personnel include a set of high-quality underwriters, closers, QAs, compliance personnel and back-office.
Apart from these fixed costs, there come the variable costs associated with origination staff or servicing operation.
As the loan volume decline, the fixed costs remain the same and cost per loan increases.
Increase in cost per loan can lead to lower profitability and in some case, operating losses.
These production costs can lead to pressure which causes lowered underwriting standards to maintain volume.
And, lowered underwriting standards leading to defaults and penalties.
