Now assume EMFC had entered into a forward contract with say Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to deliver 60 days from origination (60 days from closing), the four mortgages with a total of $2 million in principal, each loan amortized over 25 years with contract rate of 7.0%, a term of 11 years, in exchange for $2 million from either of the two agencies. Assume market interest rate decreased to 6.5% after the loan commitments were issued by EMFC and because of fallout only three of the loans closed (75% closure rate). Fallen out means one of the borrowers chose not to borrow from this lender but borrow from another lender since market interest rate has declined.
