Secondary Loan Market
The buying and selling of first loans or trust deeds by banks, insurance companies, government agencies, and other loans. This enables lenders to keep an adequate supply of money for new loans. The loans may be sold at full value ("par") or above, but are usually sold at a discount. The secondary loan market should not be confused with a "second loan."
