The availability of funds in the primary market depends largely on the existence of secondary markets. First, the mortgage funds to home buyers with a credit institution to be borrowed in the primary market. The mortgage was then sold to an agency in the secondary market, in turn, to other investors in the form of securities backed by mortgages to sell. Securities backed by mortgages that fall into two general categories: through-bond securities and securities. Bond-like securities, long-term interest payable semi-annually and a fee on a particular date. Crossing securities that pay interest or principal payments often are on a monthly basis. Some types of pay through securities, even if the payments are not collected by the borrower.
Since a primary lender sold the mortgage, the lender’s money, they take over from the sale to another mortgage and sell the new loans to the secondary market, and set the cycle. Join the agency in the secondary market for mortgages, purchases of securities backed by mortgages to build, then sell them to investors. As the agency sold on the secondary market for mortgage-backed securities to investors, they now have more money to buy more mortgages. It can then proceed more mortgage pools backed securities for sale to investors again and the cycle continues.
The market is able to function as it will be because the standardized underwriting criteria used to qualify borrowers and properties. Mortgages from the secondary market, primary market will be acquired if the lender complied with underwriting standards on the secondary market. Since the lenders want to sell their loans, they must follow the underwriting standards of these organizations. The three largest agencies in the secondary market are Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. Therefore, a loan is usually met a line loans, the underwriting guidelines of Fannie Mae. Private companies such as hedge funds and investment banks are also involved in the movement of mortgage funds by buying mortgage-backed securities. The recent collapse of credit and the economic downturn was partly due to the purchase and sale of securities backed by mortgages. Investors borrowed enormous amounts of money and have to use so dramatically, if the value of securities backed by mortgages has fallen, it was enough to create huge cash flow problems for businesses, and many have gone out of business (Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, etc.). Unfortunately, many of the same dynamics that caused the financial collapse is still in operation. The secondary market is still with Fannie Mae (infused with tax dollars) to buy 99% of all loans issued in the United States.
