Warehouse lenders face a variety of risks. For the most part, this risk is managed by the periodic review of interim financial statements, monitoring of the aged warehouse and quarterly client calls. Warehouse lenders do, however, face many challenges understanding the true safety and soundness of their client/borrowers simply because they lack the necessary information.

n      Strategic planning review

n      Financial measurement and reporting capabilities

n      Underwriting, Pre-funding fraud prevention and QC, post funding QC processes

n      Closing and post closing operations

n      Review of policies and procedures

n      Secondary marketing, capital markets capabilities

n      Historical loan portfolio performance (report card reviews)

n      COMP reviews

n      Investor correspondent relationships/repurchase risk exposure

Warehouse lenders who understand a client/borrower’s effectiveness managing the above issues, are better positioned to make informed credit decisions.
