According to a report by Bloomberg, non-QM specialist Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions (AOMS) has cut nearly 70 percent of its workforce as the COVID-19 pandemic further impacts the housing sector. Sreeni Prabhu, co-chief executive officer of Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions’ parent company, Angel Oak Companies, announced that AOMS dismissed 200 of its 275 employees amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

That’s going to take some time.”
 
Angel Oak Companies announced that it closed 2019 with more than $17 billion in gross assets under management and six non-QM securitizations, totaling approximately $3.1 billion, up from roughly $2 billion in 2018. Meanwhile, Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions funded approximately $3.3 billion in non-QM loans in 2019.

Earlier in the week, Flagstar Bancorp ceased funding non-QM loans, and Citadel Servicing Corporation, another top non-QM lender, said it was halting originations for 30 days.
