What is a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC)?

  1. A company that owns, and usually operates, income-producing real estate

  2. An entity used to pool mortgage loans and issue mortgage backed securities

  3. An organization that manages income producing real estate properties

  4. An organization with many investors who jointly participate in a real estate investment

The correct answer is: An entity used to pool mortgage loans and issue mortgage backed securities

A real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) is a type of entity that pools together mortgage loans and issues mortgage-backed securities. This allows the risk to be spread out over a larger group of investors, making it a less risky investment compared to investing in an individual mortgage. Therefore, options A, C, and D, which all involve a single entity or organization managing or owning real estate properties, are incorrect. REMICs are specifically used for pooling and securitizing mortgages, making option B the correct answer.
