Ditech says its reverse mortgage business is unprofitable

Aware that sweeping regulatory changes would likely send the reverse mortgage business into a tailspin, Ditech – then named Walter Investment Management – shut down the HECM origination channel of its subsidiary, Reverse Mortgage Solutions, in 2017. But the company has continued to service reverse mortgages, and it’s not going well. According to a report filed Tuesday with SEC, Ditech’s reverse mortgage business is operating at a sizable loss – and this trend isn’t likely to turn around anytime soon.
