What are security interests in the mortgage process?
Security interests are legal rights that protect Freddie Mac’s investment in a mortgage. These rights include interests in the servicing assets, mortgage files, and related collateral. They ensure that lenders and servicers fulfill their obligations and that Freddie Mac can recover losses if issues arise.
