Altisource Portfolio Solutions, which was spun off by Ocwen Financial Corp. last year, has acquired the management arm of the Lenders One cooperative for an undisclosed sum. Scott Stern, CEO of Lenders One, said Altisource will maintain the existing executive team and employee base of the management company which is called The Mortgage Partnership of America. LO's 155 member mortgage bankers originated $75 billion in product last year, which would make it the nation's fourth largest lender if counted as one. Mr. Stern stressed that the cooperative will "continue to exist" and that Altisource is not buying Lenders One. The Mortgage Partnership handles an array of chores for the cooperative, including program development, marketing, advertising and even legislative advocacy. Mr. Stern himself owned part of TMPA but would not say how much. The publicly traded Altisource provides mortgage-related vendor services to the residential finance industry.
