3) Loans Held for Sale (Continued)

 

Loan Loss Reserve

 

Repurchase demands (“demand(s)”) from third party investors for mortgage loans previously held for sale and sold are reviewed, and relevant data is captured so that an estimated future loss can be calculated. The key factors that are used in the estimated future loss calculation are as follows: (i) lien position, (ii) payment status, (iii) claim type, (iv) unpaid principal balance, (v) interest rate, and (vi) validity of the demand. Other data is captured and is useful for management purposes; the actual estimated loss is generally based on these key factors. The Company conducts its own review upon the receipt of a demand. In many instances, the Company can resolve the issues relating to the demand by the third-party investor without having to make any payments to the investor.

 

The loan loss reserve, which is included in other liabilities and accrued expenses, is summarized as follows:

 

  

As of

March 31, 2026

  

As of

December 31, 2025

 
Balance, beginning of period  $384,184   $696,626 
Provision on current loan originations (1)   170,996    805,518 
Additional provision (2)   -    40,000 
Charge-offs, net of recaptured amounts   (170,996)   (1,157,960)
