I recently put a bunch of loans for sale at 10% premium, not thinking much would happen. To my surprise, I had a bunch of F and G notes that ended up selling. These were never late with flat or rising trends that were roughly 40 months old.
Now, I wonder how this could be a good deal for the buyer. These notes returned roughly 8 percent up to now because they were in the "good ol' days" vintage. They likely return more now because they have such a good repayment history. Still, with the possibility of repayments and all, could this possibly be a good deal for the buyer?
I stopped buying notes on folio with any markup. The frequency of pre-payments was just too high, especially since LC likes to poach their own borrowers with refinance offers.
Lucky you! As a buyer, my experience with secondary market has been good (23+ % returns on folio notes!!!) but I wish I could increase my sales of non-seasoned notes. I'm getting mediocre sales at abt 2.50 markup - but these are my falling credit or unseasoned notes so maybe I should be content?
