11 Presentation prepared for Both MRB and Mortgage Markets offer executions that provide excess revenue. With Bond Counsel approval you can hedge rate risk execution with TBA and execute MRB. – Example: Minnesota HFA this week, $60 million pass-through MRB In today’s market, MRB execution forces HFA to use excess revenue for Homebuyer subsidy. Mortgage Market programs can be sponsored by any government entity without financial investment, creating competition. HFA’s must do more than “sponsor” to be competitive. The more the HFA can do in-house – the lower the costs. Non-Economic reasons for MRB Execution include: – Build Assets, Use Volume Cap, Keep Excess Revenues targeted to Homebuyers Summary What’s the Best Execution? It Depends!
