What you will do
We are seeking an experienced residential mortgage credit professional to support the acquisition, asset management and loss mitigation of closed DSCR and other Non-QM residential mortgage loans for a large institutional investment portfolio. Working directly with senior investment professionals, this individual will evaluate bulk and flow purchases, resolve diligence findings, monitor post-purchase performance and support loan-level workout decisions.
This is an investor-side role rather than a traditional production-underwriting position. The successful candidate will assess each loan as an investment, distinguish curable exceptions from material credit or enforceability risks and exercise sound judgment when guidelines and documentation do not provide a mechanical answer.
This position follows a hybrid work model, with working 3 days in the Newark, NJ office and 2 days remotely. Remote work arrangements may be considered.
What you can expect
Review DSCR, business-purpose, and Non-QM loans for compliance with acquisition guidelines, trade stips, and exceptions.
Assess DSCR and property cash flow, including leases, rents, taxes, insurance, vacancy, and short-term rental assumptions.
Evaluate collateral and valuation risk, including LTV/CLTV, appraisals, property condition, comparables, BPOs, AVMs, and valuation variances.
Identify layered credit and collateral risks across leverage, purpose, cash-out, seasoning, loan size, property type, geography, reserves, experience, and documentation.
Review title, insurance, closing and legal documents, and reconcile loan-tape data to source documentation for material discrepancies.
Manage third-party due diligence, including vendor workflow, scope, findings, budget, documentation, and issue resolution.
Evaluate and disposition exceptions and deficiencies through cures, compensating factors, waivers, structural protections, repricing, or loan removal.
Provide investor recommendations and transaction execution, escalating material risks and managing pools through diligence, purchase, funding, and post-purchase review.
Monitor asset performance and loss mitigation, evaluating delinquencies, servicing activity, workouts, foreclosure alternatives, recoveries, losses, and lessons learned to improve acquisition standards.
What you will bring
5+ years of hands-on experience reviewing residential mortgage loan files, preferably involving DSCR, business-purpose, Non-QM, whole-loan acquisitions, third-party diligence, correspondent credit, warehouse credit or post-close review.
Strong knowledge of credit reports, guaranties, entity borrowers, liquidity and reserves, rental-income analysis, DSCR calculations, appraisals, title, insurance and closing documentation.
Demonstrated ability to interpret guidelines, evaluate exceptions, weigh materiality and recommend commercially practical resolutions.
Working knowledge of mortgage servicing, delinquency management, foreclosure, bankruptcy, property preservation, valuation updates and loss-mitigation alternatives.
Strong written communication, attention to detail and comfort working with Excel-based loan tapes, exception trackers and large loan populations.
Ability to work constructively with sellers and vendors under transaction deadlines while escalating material risks concisely.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience. Practical loan-level experience, mortgage judgment and the ability to identify material investment risk are more important than academic pedigree.
What will set you apart
Closed-loan review, pre-purchase diligence or private-label RMBS collateral review involving DSCR, Non-QM, jumbo, RTL or SFR loans.
Experience across more than one part of the mortgage ecosystem, such as a TPR firm followed by an originator, aggregator, warehouse lender, servicer or whole-loan investor.
Familiarity with appraisal-review products, rating-agency or securitization standards, compliance and assignee-liability considerations, and state-specific documentation issues.
Experience with seller negotiations, diligence rebuttals, waivers, repricing, loan removals, repurchase analysis, servicer oversight or workout approvals.
