 the Company may proceed with foreclosure on the property. A loan may be satisfied by borrower repayment, sales or appraisal-based claim submissions to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), and/or foreclosure sale proceeds. If the Company sells the property within six months, it may file a sales-based claim with HUD to recover any shortfall between the sales price of the property and the outstanding loan balance. If the property is not sold within six months, the Company may file an appraisal-based claim with HUD to recover any shortfall between the appraised value and the outstanding loan balance. Once the appraisal-based claim is paid by HUD, any subsequent expenses or loss in the property’s value exposes the Company to additional losses that may not be eligible to be recouped through the filing of an additional HUD claim.The Company has determined that HECM loans transferred under the current Ginnie Mae HMBS securitization program do not meet the requirements for sale accounting and are not derecognized upon date of transfer. The Ginnie Mae HMBS securitization program includes certain terms that do not meet the participating interest requirements and require or provide an option for the Company to reacquire the loans prior to maturity. Due to these terms, the transfer of the loans does not meet the requirements of sale accounting. As a result, the Company accounts for HECM loans transferred into HMBS securitizations as secured borrowings and continues to recognize the loans as held for investment, subject to HMBS related obligations, along with the corresponding liability for the HMBS related obligations. No gains or losses are recognized on these transfers of HECM loans into HMBS securitizations.Loans are considered nonperforming upon events such as, but not limited to, the death of the mortgagor, the mortgagor no longer occupying the property as their principal residence, or the property taxes or insurance not being paid. In addition to having to fund repurchase of these loans out of Ginnie Mae HMBS, the Company also typically
