Reasons for using a warehouse line of credit include:
- Permanent Funding: Mortgage lender does not have to draw deposits - the line of credit provides permanent funding for the life of all loans in the program.
- Less Risk: No margin calls - once the asset is funded, there is no additional mark-to-market and posting of collateral.
- Unlimited Loan Volume: Warehouse line of credit program can fund an unlimited loan volume. This enables specialty lenders to enlarge their portfolios for maximum interest income and eliminates the need to manage multiple sources of capital.
In addition, in this way the warehouse credit institution can manage an exposure to mortgage loans market without building a branch network of its own.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“Don’t confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation; the latter, the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science.”
—Martin H. Fischer (1879–1962)
“Our purpose in founding the city was not to make any one class in it surpassingly happy, but to make the city as a whole as happy as possible.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
