FAQ
What types of institutions are a fit for DREAM?
DREAM is suited for institutions with concentrations of portfolio residential mortgages, long-duration fixed-rate exposure, and a strategic interest in improving performance while generating new loan production.
What borrower scenarios work best?
DREAM is an attractive option for borrowers who need more home space, desire to relocate for work or family, want to downsize, need improved affordability, and are otherwise locked in by a low mortgage rate. DREAM is also desirable for borrowers who hold multiple investment properties.
How are borrower savings determined?
Savings are calculated based on the borrower's current loan rate, remaining principal balance, remaining loan duration, and current market rates. Essentially, the lower the borrower's rate and the longer the remaining loan duration, the greater the savings.
Is DREAM compliant with accounting and compliance regulations?
Takara has worked extensively with participating institutions and legal and compliance stakeholders to ensure DREAM operates within applicable regulatory and accounting frameworks. In summary, DREAM derisks balance sheets for institutions, creates a significant consumer benefit, and is built on the rails of established processes within the U.S. financial system.
Are there tax implications for consumers who participate in DREAM?
Tax treatment depends on each consumer’s individual circumstances. Consumers should consult their tax advisor regarding any potential federal, state, or local tax consequences associated with participating in DREAM.
How long does implementation take?
Most institutions can evaluate and pilot DREAM transactions in 3 to 4 weeks without technology or integration because the program leverages existing mortgage infrastructure and servicing relationships.
What internal teams are typically involved?
Typical stakeholders include executive leadership, finance and treasury, mortgage lending, servicing, compliance, and legal.
Does DREAM require core system integration?
DREAM is designed to minimize operational burden and does not typically require complex core system integration.
How are loans selected?
Low fixed-rate loans with long duration offer the greatest benefit to borrowers and lenders. However, institutions define eligibility criteria based on their portfolio strategy, borrower profiles, and operational objectives.
Is borrower participation voluntary?
Yes. Borrower participation is entirely voluntary.
How does DREAM compare to selling mortgage loans?
Selling low-rate mortgage loans will require institutions to take a significant haircut in the current rate environment. With DREAM there is no loss for the lender. Unlike loan sales, DREAM allows institutions to improve portfolio performance, provide an unprecedented benefit to borrowers thereby enhancing the relationship, while improving yield and generating new lending opportunities.
What does a pilot program look like?
Most pilots involve a small group of transactions to measure borrower response, new loan production, portfolio impact, yield improvement, and operational workflow.
What results have participating institutions seen?
Participating institutions have used DREAM to generate new market-rate loans, improve mortgage portfolio economics, reduce low-rate concentration exposure, and create meaningful borrower savings opportunities.
