Mortgages are originated by banks and brokers. And in turn they are either held and owned by banks and investment companies or they are packaged together to become bonds known as mortgage-backed securities (MBS). MBS are in turn bought by insurance companies, pension funds and investment companies. These investors if they’re smart and disciplined, pour through the underlying mortgages to determine what’s happening for the collateral of the homes as well as the payment of interest and principal.
One of the best in the business of investing and managing MBS is MFA Financial (NYSE:MFA). MFA is structured as a real estate investment trust (REIT). As such, it holds mortgage investments instead of properties and avoids corporate income taxes by paying the majority of its income to shareholders just like any other REIT. MFA Financial has consistently turned in profits and dividend payouts for shareholders even during the 2007-2008 crisis.
