Where does a house payment go? It takes a long and interesting trip ver wondered what really happens to your house payment? It seems logical that it would go to the lending company that made the loan to and it does, but buy the home it takes a longish trip along the way. If your mortgage stayed m your lending companys portfolio, the lender would probably have to wait many years before the loan was paid up. And the relatively small monthly mortgage payments wouldn't provide enough money to enable the lender to continue making home loans. But most mortgage loans don't stay with the lenders who made them. To obtain more money to lend, most lenders sell their mortgages on the secondary a large network of market investment companies and agencies, including the industry giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If your mortgage is sold to one of these organizations, you may never know it, because the mortgages new owner will often use your original lenders to service the account. But your money doesn't stop its journey at that point. The purchasing organizations must also replenish their money supply, so they can keep on buying mortgages. They pool your loan with thousands of others and then sell shares in the pool to individual investors and big financial institutions. Countless people obtain income by investing in these mortgages. Because of this, when you buy a home, youre not only helping yourself, you're also helping our economy.
