Smaller loans, some government-backed
Purchases made up 88.9% of its loans. Some 15.2% were insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and 5.1% guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), whereas the typical similar lender (non-bank lenders making between half and twice as many loans) made none of either. Its typical loan was $205,000, against $355,000, smaller than at about nine in ten of them.
