How do Mortgage Investment Corporations (MIC) generate income for investors?

  1. By providing protection against errors in title

  2. By analyzing the borrower's needs

  3. By facilitating the completion of a transaction

  4. Through dividend payments

The correct answer is: Through dividend payments

Mortgage Investment Corporations (MIC) generate income for investors through dividend payments. This is because MICs typically invest in a portfolio of mortgages, earning interest from borrowers and distributing a portion of that interest as dividends to investors. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect how MICs generate income. Option A refers to title insurance, which is not directly related to MICs. Option B mentions borrower needs, which may be considered when selecting specific mortgages for the portfolio but does not directly generate income. Option C mentions facilitating transactions, which may also be a role of MICs, but not their primary source of income.
