Opteum Mortgage Insurance Corp. filed an S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to issue RMBS.

According to the filing, the prospective offering can be backed by mortgage loans secured by first liens on the related mortgage property; mortgages where the borrower has little or no equity in the related property; mortgage loans backed by one-to-four-family residential properties; and home equity revolving lines of credit or HELOC.

The collateral might also comprise manufactured housing conditional sale contracts and installment loan agreements or interests therein and mortgage loans backed by junior liens on the related property, multifamily, commercial and mixed residential and commercial properties.

The filing has a provision stating that the aggregate concentration of these properties should be lower than 10% of the aggregate pool acquired by the depositor from one or more affiliated or unaffiliated institutions.

The filing also indicated that the issuing entity might include a financial guaranty, mortgage pool, or special hazard insurance policy, a letter of credit or reserve fund, and currency and exchange agreements.
