Bayview Financial of Coral Gables, Fla., is offering a $500 million "scratch and dent" portfolio, according to investment banking sources.

"We think it's going to be a great time to buy," said George Ostendorf, president of American Mortgage Capital Group of Chicago. (For the full story see the Monday edition of National Mortgage News.)
