Rockspring's 2012 Begins with Flurry of Investment Activity

By fully understanding the underlying value of the collateral, we were able to aggressively bid and ultimately acquire the note. Thirty days after the note was purchased, the borrower paid it off for more than a 200 percent annualized return. |
