mortgage-backed revenue bond
Definition
Bonds usually issued by a local or municipality, instead of a private lending agency, to lending institutions in order to fund low interest rate mortgages. Mortgage-backed revenue bonds are repaid by the mortgage payments. Each bond has its own (usually short-term) maturity date, which varies from as little as 18 months up to 4 years. These are similar to mortgage backed securities. Also called housing bond.
