| Mortgage Servicing Rights |
Mortgage Servicing Rights We have investments in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) that result from the sale of residential and multifamily loans to the secondary market for which we retain the servicing. We account for these MSRs at their fair value. The unpaid principal loan balance of our servicing portfolio is presented in the following table as of: | | | | | | | | | | | | | June 30, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 | | Federal National Mortgage Association | $ | 2,729,043 | | | $ | 2,674,584 | | | Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation | 3,784,974 | | | 2,058,343 | | | Government National Mortgage Association | 1,482,594 | | | 1,420,376 | | | Federal Home Loan Bank | 215,346 | | | 121,476 | | | Other | 18,470 | | | 1,012 | | | Total | $ | 8,230,426 | | | $ | 6,275,791 | |
