 Company in connection with due diligence activities performed during the loan approval process. Certain funds deposited with the Company may be returned to the borrower at the time the loan funds or if the loan does not close. The Company records a liability for these amounts until the loan has closed or a cost has been incurred.Loans Held for Investment, Subject to HMBS Related Obligations, at Fair ValueThe Company elected the fair value option for all loans held for investment, subject to HMBS obligations. A HECM is a reverse mortgage loan available to homeowners aged 62 and over that allows conversion of a portion of the home’s equity into cash. The HECM loan terms do not have a defined maturity date or a scheduled repayment of principal and interest. Variable interest rates are tied to an index plus a margin that typically ranges up to three percentage points. Interest compounds over the life of the loan and is not paid by the borrower until the loan is repaid. HECM loans include a monthly mortgage insurance premium (“MIP”) that is payable to the FHA. The MIP amount is typically calculated as 1.25% of the mortgage balance for loans originated prior to October 2, 2017 and 0.5% for loans originated after October 2, 2017 and accretes to the borrower’s loan balance over the life of the loan. As the issuer, the Company is responsible for remitting the MIP to the FHA.A maturity event will cause the loan to become due and payable. Maturity events include: borrower has passed away and the property is not the principal residence of at least one surviving borrower; borrower has sold or conveyed title of the property to a third-party; the property is no longer the principal residence of at least one borrower for reasons other than death; the borrower does not maintain the property as principal residence for a period exceeding 12 months; the borrower fails to pay property taxes and/or insurance and all attempts to rectify the situation have been exhausted; and the property is in disrepair and the borrower has refused or is unable to repair the property.Once a loan has become due and payable, unsecuritized borrower advances cannot be placed into a Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) HMBS. Generally, the Company recovers such advances (referred to as unpoolable tails) from borrowers, from proceeds of liquidation of collateral, or ultimate disposition of the loan, including conveyance of claims to the FHA.If the loan is not paid within six months of the maturity event,
