Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs)

We have extensive experience advising clients on all aspects of real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs), including:

  • Structuring regular and residual interests in REMICs
  • Formation of REMICs
  • Loan modification issues (significant modification test and exceptions to circumstances in which significant modifications result in prohbited transactions and/or loss of qualified mortgage status)
  • REMIC taxation issues

We regularly counsel clients on the issues relating to all aspects of REMICs, and continually monitor the ever-changing landscape of relating to REMICs' ability to modify debt instruments in connection with non-performing (to expected to be non-performing) loans.
