What LoanStream Mortgage does

LoanStream Mortgage, operating under the legal entity OCMBC, Inc. (NMLS ID #2125), is a privately held US mortgage banker founded in 2001 and headquartered in Irvine, California. The company originates home purchase and refinance mortgages through a multi-channel platform spanning retail branches across 20 states (with named locations in Irvine CA, Honolulu HI, and St. Louis MO) and a wholesale lending operation licensed in 38 states. Its product set spans the full agency and government spectrum — conventional fixed and adjustable rate loans, FHA, VA, USDA, and Jumbo — augmented by a proprietary NanQ™ non-QM / Alt-QM sub-brand launched in 2013 that addresses second-chance borrowers, self-employed applicants with bank-statement income, high-net-worth SIVA cases, and foreign-national jumbo buyers.

The business runs on industry-standard mortgage infrastructure: Ellie Mae's Encompass Loan Origination System for loan processing, Loan Mailbox and Mortgage Returns for CRM, and dedicated borrower and customer web portals for application, prequalification, and loan servicing. LoanStream's GTM combines a sales-led retail model (loan officers, branch offices, toll-free phone sales at 800-760-1833, and quick-quote / prequalification web tools) with a wholesale channel serving third-party mortgage brokers and correspondents, supplemented by referral relationships with real estate agents.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: transaction-based mortgage origination fees on conventional, government, jumbo, and non-QM loans; interest income on loans held in portfolio or sold into the secondary market as a mortgage banker; and recurring servicing fee income on its managed loan portfolio. The customer base is highly distributed across five segments — primary home buyers, military veterans, non-traditional / second-chance borrowers, luxury and investor buyers, and high-net-worth / foreign-national borrowers — with no enterprise anchor dependencies and pricing conducted on a per-borrower quote basis. The company maintains Mortgage Bankers Association membership and operates as an Equal Housing Lender under multi-state licensing.
