Santander Bank is issuing a securitization of closed-end second liens sourced from Pennymac. Also, an affiliate of PIMCO is offering a securitization of seasoned HELOCs.
The structure helps issuers extend prefunding and investment periods beyond the 90-day limitation that applies to traditional real estate mortgage investment conduits.
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust has been issuing about one prime non-agency MBS per month, stocking the deals with GSE-eligible mortgages for investment properties and second homes. Now the REIT is set to issue jumbo MBS.
