Business Description

NovaStar Financial was one the largest independent subprime mortgage originators. Subprime mortgages are made to borrowers who do not qualify for loans from traditional lenders due to lower credit scores. NovaStar was organized as a REIT and sold the majority of its loans into asset-backed securities, in which it retained a residual interest. Today, it is simply trying to survive off the cash flows of $3.6 billion in mortgages and related securities remaining on its balance sheet.
