The suite identifies credit, collateral, lien, and transaction risks found within each lender's or investor's portfolio, enabling users to identify and capitalize on credit, collateral, and portfolio opportunities to support business strategies.

"Subordinating a mortgage for an oil and gas lease is not like allowing a typical lien that poses a foreclosure risk. The mortgagee can still foreclose, but it will not wipe out the lease." Horne went on to explain that oil and gas companies will pay a subordination fee based on the location and productivity of the lease, some of which can run as high as $500 in the oil-rich areas of Texas, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. At the same time, properties currently in REO portfolios may have former leases that energy companies would want to renew. "Tens of thousands of leases were wiped out during the foreclosure crisis," Horne said.
