Define loan sale and explain different types of loan sales

 A loan sale is a sale, often by a bank, under contract of all or part of the cash stream from a specific loan, thereby removing the loan from the bank's balance sheet.

Types of Loan Sale:

1. Participation Loans

2. Assignments

3. Loan Strip

1) Participation Loans: a loan that is shared by a group of banks that join to make a loan too big for any one of them alone.

2) Assignments: A sale of loan by bank of rights against the borrower and the benefits of the loan, to the assignee bank.

3) Loan Strip: Loan Strips are short-dated pieces of a longer-term loan and often mature in a few days or weeks. The buyer of a strip is entitled to a fraction of the expected income from a loan.
