Why It Matters
These documents set the contractual framework for how the trust’s mortgage assets will be pooled, serviced, administered and how related loan transfers are documented. For investors, the PSA and the loan purchase agreements determine how payments are collected and distributed, who manages problem loans, and which parties bear operational responsibilities—factors that directly affect cash flow timing and credit administration of the trust.
