Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida (September 15, 2010)  – Capital Markets Cooperative, a partnership of residential mortgage loan originators, today announced a strategic alliance with MountainView Capital Group, a residential mortgage loan trader. The alliance gives CMC members access to MountainView’s Loan Purchase Program, which provides an outlet for loans rejected by the large investors and aggregators.

“Government-sponsored enterprises and conduit investors require originators to repurchase loans when there are underwriting and documentation issues or other deficiencies,” explained Tom Millon, Chief Executive Officer at Capital Markets Cooperative. “These kickbacks have the potential to significantly impact CMC members’ profitability, and MountainView’s program is a solution we trust.”

MountainView Capital Group has more than 20 years of experience trading residential whole loans, and its Loan Purchase Program began in 2008. The program provides an outlet to originators with newly originated scratch-and-dent loans and offers them aggressive pricing and timely funding.

“One of MountainView’s differentiators is that all data analysis, pricing, due diligence and contract finance is done in house,” commented Jonas Roth, Managing Director at MountainView Capital Group. “We also have capital immediately available through MountainView Mortgage Opportunities Fund II, which invests in residential whole loans.”

CMC will formally introduce the Loan Purchase Program to its members on a conference call in early October.
