Bank of America to sell service rights on $100 billion of mortgages
(Reuters) – Bank of America Corp is looking to sell collection rights on at least another $100 billion of mortgages after announcing similar deals for more than $300 billion on Monday, according to two sources familiar with the situation.
Any sale would be the latest example of a big bank deciding that collecting mortgage payments on some loans is too costly, and the cost of capitalizing the business was too high given new capital rules. Banks have been unloading these assets for years.
These sales are an opportunity for smaller companies like Nationstar Mortgage Holdings and Walter Investment Management that specialize in managing these collection rights, known as mortgage servicing rights, and do not have to follow bank capital rules.

is anyone asking whether BOA has the RIGHT TO SELL THE SERVICING RIGHTS? BOA basically has taken over the CW loans that no one can prove who owns and is “servicing” them. But what they are really selling is the loan but it owns CW. It is also servicing CITI’s trusts for the most part. Do they own those trusts too? Is anyone looking at this????
No, just look the other way. I think Honey Boo Boo is on tv right now.
