“Unlike most IMBs, some banks can justify operating at a production loss because of the ongoing net interest margin generated on loans held for investment, ability to cross-sell other bank products, and having other business lines that are profit-generating when the mortgage originations division is not.”
–Marina Walsh, CMB, MBA Vice President of Industry Analysis.
