Mid America Mortgage

ADDISON, Texas /Massachusetts Newswire – National News/ — Mid America Mortgage, Inc. (Mid America) announced today it has secured an additional line of liquidity from J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC (member of FINRA and SIPC) (“JVB”), an indirect controlled subsidiary of Cohen & Company Inc. (NYSE American: COHN), through the company’s Agency MBS & Gestation Repo Group.

“While challenging on many levels, the circumstances presented by COVID have allowed Mid America to innovate our product lines and deliver financing options that enable more consumers – including low-to-moderate income and minority borrowers – to realize the dream of homeownership,” said Mid America Owner and CEO Jeff Bode. “By accessing capital through JVB’s gestational repo program, we can finance these unique loan programs, including our down payment assistance program, at a lower cost than a traditional warehouse line, thus enabling us to grow these programs by nearly sixfold in 2022.”

JVB’s Gestational Repo Financing allows mortgage originators seeking incremental returns to make short-term investments into a Ginnie Mae (GNMA) security, which carries a zero-risk weighting, as an alternative means of securing capital markets financing. Gestation repo enables GNMA issuers to pool these securities faster while also reducing issuers’ funding costs and improving their cash position.

“Mid America Mortgage has placed itself in a strategic position to capitalize on the implementation and utilization of a gestation repo facility such as ours within its mortgage pipeline operations,” said Tom McHugh, Managing Director and Head of the Mortgage Group at J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC. “JVB is excited to partner with the team at Mid America.”
