	Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
	Nature of Business
	Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc., including all wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Nationstar or the Company), a Delaware corporation, earns fees through the delivery of quality servicing, origination and transaction based services related principally to single-family residences.
	Nationstar presents financial performance utilizing reportable segments aligned with how the operations are managed. The Servicing segment reflects the results of operations attributable to residential mortgage servicing rights acquired from and loans subserviced for third-parties and originated loans. The Solutionstar segment reflects financial performance related to real estate services (e.g., collateral valuation, title, and closing services) and technology and data services, including our HomeSearch.com real estate exchange portal. The Originations segment includes fees associated with loan originations and gains from the sale and securitization of loans. The Corporate and Other segment encompasses certain identified corporate costs as well as the 'Legacy' portfolio which includes primarily all subprime mortgage loans originated in the latter portion of 2006 and 2007 or acquired from Nationstar's predecessor.
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nationstar, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where Nationstar's wholly-owned subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. Nationstar applies the equity method of accounting to investments when the entity is not a VIE and Nationstar is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the policies and procedures of the entity but owns less than 50% of the voting interests. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Results of operations, assets and liabilities of VIEs are included from the date that Nationstar became the primary beneficiary through the date Nationstar ceases to be the primary beneficiary.
	The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included. The consolidated interim financial statements of Nationstar have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Nationstar's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2014. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Nationstar evaluated subsequent events through the date these interim consolidated financial statements were issued.

	Recent Accounting Developments
	Accounting Standard Update No 2014-04, Receivables: Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors Reclassification of
	Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (ASU 2014-04), was created to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage so that the asset would be derecognized in the receivable and recognized as real estate property. This update specifies that an in substance repossession occurs when either the creditor has obtained the legal title to the property after a foreclosure or the borrower has transferred all interest in the property to the creditor through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement so that at that time the asset should be reclassified from a loan receivable to real estate property. This update also provides that a disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that is in the process of foreclosure must be included in both interim and annual financial reports. This amendment update is effective for periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
	Accounting Standards Update No 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), was created to standardize revenue recognition process between public and private companies as well as across industries in an effort to more closely align GAAP revenue recognition with international standards to provide a more comparable revenue number for the users of the financial statements. The standard outlines that for all contracts, revenue should be recognized when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized either over a period or at one point in time in accordance with how the control of the service or good is transferred. This amendment update is for all year-end and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early application is not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
	Accounting Standards Update No 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing: Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (ASU 2014-11), was created to provide greater disclosure in reference to repurchase agreements and similar transactions. For repurchase agreements, the entity must disclose the carrying amount of the assets derecognized at the derecognition date, the amount of gross proceeds received by the transferor at the time of derecognition, information about the transferor’s ongoing exposure to economic return on the transferred financial assets, amounts that are reported in the balance sheet arising from the transactions, disaggregation of the gross obligation by class of collateral pledged, remaining contractual tenor of the agreement, and a discussion of the potential risks associated with the agreements and the related collateral pledged and how these risks are managed. This amendment update is effective for year-end periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and early application is not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-11 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidly or results of operations.
	ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, (ASU 2014-12), requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operation.

Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations	'
	Securitizations and Financings
	In the normal course of business, Nationstar enters into various types of securitizations and asset-backed financing arrangements secured by assets. For disclosure purposes, Nationstar aggregates these transactions based upon those whether the transaction was treated as a sale (securitizations) or accounted for as a secured borrowing (financing).
	Securitizations
	With respect to securitizations of residential mortgage loans, Nationstar’s continuing involvement typically includes acting as servicer for the mortgage loans held by the trust and holding beneficial interests in the trust. Nationstar’s responsibilities as servicer include, among other things, collecting monthly payments, maintaining escrow accounts, providing periodic reports and managing insurance in exchange for a contractually specified servicing fee. The beneficial interests held consist of both
	subordinate and residual securities that were retained at the time of securitization. These securitizations generally do not result
	in consolidation of the variable interest entity (VIE) as the beneficial interests that the Company holds in the unconsolidated securitization trusts have no value and no potential for significant cash flows in the future. In addition, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no other significant assets in our consolidated financial statements related to these trusts. The Company has no obligation to provide financial support to unconsolidated securitization trusts and has provided no such support. The creditors of the trusts can look only to the assets of the trusts themselves for satisfaction of the debt issued by the trusts and have no recourse against the assets of Nationstar. The general creditors of Nationstar have no claim on the assets of the trusts. Nationstar's exposure to loss as a result of its' continuing involvement with the trusts is limited to the carrying values, if any, of its' investments in the residual and subordinate securities of the trusts, the MSRs that are related to the trusts and the advances to the trusts. The Company considers the probability of loss arising from its' advances to be remote because of its' position ahead of most of the other liabilities of the trusts. See Note 4 and Note 6 for additional information regarding advances and MSRs.
	Gains and losses on the assets transferred are recognized based on the carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets transferred and the retained interests based on their relative fair value at the date of transfer, other than MSRs. Retained MSRs are recorded at their fair value on the transfer date.

	Financings
	Nationstar maintains various agreements with special purpose entities (SPEs), under which Nationstar transfers mortgage loans and/or servicing advance receivables on residential mortgage loans in exchange for cash. These SPEs issue debt supported by collections on the transferred mortgage loans or servicing advance receivables. These transfers do not qualify for sale treatment because Nationstar continues to retain control over the transferred assets. As a result, Nationstar accounts for these transfers as financings and continues to carry the transferred assets and recognizes the related liabilities on Nationstar’s consolidated balance sheets. Collections on the mortgage loans and/or servicing advance receivables pledged to the SPEs are used to repay principal and interest and to pay the expenses of the entity. The holders of these beneficial interests issued by these SPEs do not have recourse to Nationstar and can only look to the assets of the SPEs themselves for satisfaction of the debt.
	Advances on loans serviced for others result from our transfers of residential loan servicing advances to SPEs in exchange for cash. We consolidate these SPEs because the transfers do not qualify for sales accounting treatment or because Nationstar is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
	These VIEs issue debt supported by collections on the transferred advances and mortgage loans. We made these transfers under the terms of our advance facility agreements. We classify the transferred advances on our consolidated balance sheets as accounts receivable and the related liabilities as notes payable. The SPEs use collections of the pledged advances to repay principal and interest and to pay the expenses of the entity. Holders of the debt issued by these entities can look only to the assets of the entities themselves for satisfaction of the debt and have no recourse against Nationstar.
	Nationstar has issued pools of Home Equity Conversion Mortgage Backed Securities to third-party investors collateralized by advances on the related Home Equity Conversion Mortgages. These transactions are accounted for as secured financings with the reverse mortgage interests and the related financing included in the consolidated financial statements of Nationstar as consolidated VIEs

	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable consists primarily of accrued revenues, including accrued servicing fees and commissions, accrued interest on mortgage loans and securitizations and borrower advances made to securitization trusts, and other third parties as required under various servicing agreements related to delinquent loans, which are ultimately repaid from the securitization trusts or the borrower.
	Accounts receivable consist of the following:

	Mortgage Loans Held for Sale and Investment, including Reverse Mortgage Interests
	Mortgage loans held for sale
	Nationstar maintains a strategy of originating mortgage loan products primarily for the purpose of selling to GSEs or other third-party investors in the secondary market. Generally, all newly originated mortgage loans held for sale are delivered to third-party purchasers or securitized shortly after origination.
	Mortgage loans held for sale consist of the following:
		June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Mortgage loans held for sale – unpaid principal balance	$	2,101,271			$	2,532,881
	Mark-to-market adjustment	123,550				70,499
	Total mortgage loans held for sale	$	2,224,821			$	2,603,380
	Nationstar had $35.0 million and $69.5 million mortgage loans held for sale on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The majority of loans on nonaccrual status are Ginnie Mae repurchased loans that were repurchased solely to modify the loans. Upon completion of the modification the loans are expected to be subject to sale to a GSE. The fair value of loans held for sale on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was approximately $29.9 million and $63.5 million, respectively.
	A reconciliation of the changes in mortgage loans held for sale to the amounts presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the dates indicated is presented in the following table:
		For the six months ended
		June 30, 2014				June 30, 2013

	Gains recognized	351,362				294,464
	Mortgage servicing rights recognized	120,212				81,329
	For certain loans sold to Ginnie Mae, Nationstar, as the servicer has the right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including being delinquent greater than 90 days. The majority of Ginnie Mae repurchased loans are repurchased solely with the intent to repool into new Ginnie Mae securitizations or to otherwise sell to third-party investors. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Nationstar repurchased $2.3 billion of mortgage loans out of Ginnie Mae securitization pools.
	Mortgage loans held for investment, net
	Mortgage loans held for investment, net consist of nonconforming or subprime mortgage loans securitized which serve as collateral for the issued nonrecourse debt principally associated with our Legacy Assets.
	An allowance for loan losses is established by recording a provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income when management believes a loss is probable on a loan held for investment. When management determines that a loan held for investment is partially or fully uncollectible, the loss is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance at the time the recovery is collected.
	Mortgage loans held for investment, net as of the dates indicated include:
			June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Mortgage loans held for investment, net – unpaid principal balance		$	289,915			$	305,085

	Allowance for loan losses		(4,193		)		(2,144		)
	Total mortgage loans held for investment, net		$	199,125			$	211,050
	The changes in accretable yield on loans transferred to mortgage loans held for investment, net were as follows:
		For the six months ended June 30, 2014				Year ended December 31, 2013
	Accretable Yield
	Balance at the beginning of the period	$	17,362			$	19,749

	Reclassifications from (to) nonaccretable discount	522				848
	Balance at the end of the period	$	16,352			$	17,362
	Nationstar may periodically modify the terms of any outstanding mortgage loans held for investment, net for loans that are either in default or in imminent default. Modifications often involve reduced payments by borrowers, modification of the original terms of the mortgage loans, forgiveness of debt and/or modified servicing advances. As a result of the volume of modification agreements entered into, the estimated average outstanding life in this pool of mortgage loans has been extended. Nationstar records interest income on the transferred loans on a level-yield method. To maintain a level-yield on these transferred loans over the estimated extended life, Nationstar reclassified approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Furthermore, Nationstar considers the decrease in principal, interest, and other cash flows expected to be collected arising from the transferred loans as an impairment.
	Delinquency status and loan-to-value ratio (LTV) are common credit quality indicators that Nationstar monitors and utilizes in its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, of which the primary indicator of credit quality is delinquency status. Loan delinquencies and unpaid principal balances are updated based upon collection activity. Collateral values are updated from third-party providers on a periodic basis. The collateral values used to derive the LTVs shown below were obtained at various dates, but the majority were within the last twenty-four months. For an event requiring a decision based at least in part on the collateral value, Nationstar takes its last known value provided by a third party and then adjusts the value based on the applicable home price index.
	Reverse mortgage interests
	Reverse mortgage interests include advances, recoverable upon the sale of the subject property, and defaulted advances that can be securitized and sold. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Nationstar had $1.8 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, in outstanding reverse mortgage interests.When Nationstar determines that a loss on the advance balance is probable and that the carrying balance may be partially or fully uncollectible, an allowance for loan loss is established by recording a provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
	Reverse mortgage interests as of the dates indicated include:
		June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	UPB of advances previously securitized by Nationstar	$	1,216,744			$	1,039,645
	UPB of advances not securitized	556,843				395,663
	Allowance for losses - reverse mortgage interests	(1,201		)		(802		)
	Total reverse mortgage interests	$	1,772,386			$	1,434,506
	Nationstar collectively evaluates all reverse mortgage interest assets for impairment. Nationstar recorded a provision for loan losses related to its reverse mortgage interests of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)	'
	Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)
	MSRs at fair value
	MSRs arise from contractual agreements between Nationstar and investors in mortgage securities and mortgage loans. Nationstar records MSR assets when it sells loans on a servicing-retained basis, at the time of a securitization that qualifies and meets requirements for sale accounting or through the acquisition or assumption of the right to service a financial asset. Under these contracts, Nationstar performs loan servicing functions in exchange for fees and other remuneration. Nationstar has elected to record these MSRs at fair value.
	The fair value of the MSRs is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows related to servicing these loans. Nationstar receives a base servicing fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% annually on the remaining outstanding principal balances of the loans. The servicing fees are collected from investors. Nationstar determines the fair value of the MSRs by the use of a cash flow model that incorporates prepayment speeds, delinquencies, discount rate, ancillary fees and other assumptions (including servicing costs) that management believes are consistent with the assumptions other major market participants use in valuing the MSRs. The nature of the forward loans underlying the MSRs affects the assumptions that management believes other major market participants use in valuing the MSRs. Nationstar obtains third-party valuations for a majority of its MSRs to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculated by the cash flow model.
	Certain of the forward loans underlying the MSRs carried at fair value that are owned by Nationstar are credit sensitive in nature and the value of these MSRs are more likely to be affected by changes in credit losses than by interest rate movement. The remaining forward loans underlying Nationstar’s MSRs held at fair value are prime agency and government conforming residential mortgage loans for which the value of these MSRs are more likely to be affected by interest rate movement than changes in credit losses.
	Nationstar used the following weighted average assumptions in estimating the fair value of MSRs for the dates indicated:
	Credit Sensitive MSRs	30-Jun-14			December 31, 2013
	Discount rate	12.3	%		14.17	%
	Total prepayment speeds	20.38	%		20.34	%
	Expected weighted-average life	4.70 years			4.63 years
	Credit losses	22.01	%		22.87	%
	Interest Rate Sensitive MSRs	30-Jun-14			December 31, 2013
	Discount rate	9.39	%		10.5	%
	Total prepayment speeds	10.56	%		8.97	%
	Expected weighted-average life	6.91 years			7.88 years
	Credit losses	5.18	%		9.12	%
	The activity of MSRs carried at fair value is as follows for the dates indicated:
		For the six months ended June 30, 2014				Year ended December 31, 2013
	Fair value at the beginning of the period	$	2,488,283			$	635,860

	Other changes in fair value	(110,368		)		(297,128		)

	Total owned loans	$	324,591,691			$	322,814,139
	The following table shows the hypothetical effect on the fair value of the MSRs using various unfavorable variations of the expected levels of certain key assumptions used in valuing these assets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
		Discount Rate							Total Prepayment							Credit Losses
									Speeds
		100 bps			200 bps				10%			20%				10%			20%
		Adverse			Adverse				Adverse			Adverse				Adverse			Adverse

	Mortgage servicing rights	$	(92,674	)	$	(177,829	)		$	(112,904	)	$	(218,072	)		$	(137,023	)	$	(271,423	)

	These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors (i.e., a decrease in total prepayment speeds may result in an increase in credit losses), which could impact the above hypothetical effects.
	MSRs at amortized cost
	Additionally, Nationstar owns servicing rights for reverse mortgage loans. For this class of servicing rights, Nationstar applies the amortization method (e.g., lower of cost or market) with the capitalized cost of the MSRs amortized in proportion and over the period of the estimated net future servicing income and recognized as an adjustment to servicing fee income. The expected period of the estimated net servicing income is based, in part, on the expected prepayment period of the underlying reverse mortgages. This class of MSRs is periodically evaluated for impairment. For purposes of measuring impairment, MSRs are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying serviced loans. These risk characteristics include loan type (fixed or adjustable rate), term and interest rate. Impairment, if any, represents the excess of amortized cost of an individual stratum over its estimated fair value and is recognized through a valuation allowance.
	Nationstar owns the right to service certain reverse mortgage MSRs with an unpaid principal balance of $28.6 billion and $28.9 billion as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Nationstar utilizes a variety of assumptions in assessing the fair value of its servicing assets or liabilities, with the primary assumptions including discount rates, prepayment speeds, home price index, collateral values and the expected weighted average life. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no impairment was identified. Interest and servicing fees collected on reverse mortgage interests are included as a component of either interest or service fee income based on whether Nationstar acquired the related borrower draws from a predecessor servicer or funded borrower draws under its obligation to service the related HECMs subsequent to the acquisition of the rights to service these loans.
	The activity of MSRs carried at amortized cost is as follows for the dates indicated:
		For the six months ended							Year ended
		June 30, 2014							December 31, 2013
		Assets				Liabilities			Assets				Liabilities

	Fair value at end of period	$	36,997			$	62,680		$	29,192			$	63,996
	Subserviced loans
	Nationstar also subservices loans on behalf of owners of MSRs or loans for a fee. Nationstar has no recorded value for its subservicing arrangements. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the unpaid balances under subservicing arrangements were $25.9 billion and $35.4 billion, respectively.

Once Nationstar has the unilateral right to repurchase a delinquent loan, Nationstar has effectively regained control over the loan, and under GAAP, must re-recognize the loan on its consolidated balance sheets and establish a corresponding repurchase liability regardless of Nationstar’s intention to repurchase the loan. Nationstar’s re-recognized loans included in other assets and the corresponding liability in payables and accrued liabilities was $66.3 million at June 30, 2014 and $120.7 million at December 31, 2013.
	In May 2014, Nationstar acquired Real Estate Digital, LLC (RED). In the initial purchase price allocations, Nationstar recorded $15.9 million in goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet.

Derivative Financial Instruments	'
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	Derivatives instruments utilized by Nationstar primarily include interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs), Loan Purchase Commitments (LPCs), Forward MBS trades and interest rate swap agreements.
	Nationstar enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers. These commitments are carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASC 815 clarifies that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The estimated fair values of IRLCs are based on the fair value of the related mortgage loans which is based on observable market data and is recorded in derivative financial instruments within the consolidated balance sheets. Nationstar adjusts the outstanding IRLCs with prospective borrowers based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded. The initial and subsequent changes in the value of IRLCs are a component of gain on mortgage loans held for sale.
	Nationstar actively manages the risk profiles of its IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale on a daily basis. To manage the price risk associated with IRLCs, Nationstar enters into forward sales of MBS in an amount equal to the portion of the IRLC expected to close, assuming no change in mortgage interest rates. In addition, to manage the interest rate risk associated with mortgage loans held for sale, Nationstar enters into forward sale commitments to deliver mortgage loan inventory to investors. The estimated fair values of forward sales of MBS and forward sale commitments are based on exchange prices or the dealer market price and are recorded as a component of derivative financial instruments and mortgage loans held for sale, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The initial and subsequent changes in value on forward sales of MBS and forward sale commitments are a component of gain on mortgage loans held for sale.
	Nationstar may occasionally enter into contracts with other mortgage lenders to purchase residential mortgage loans at a future date, which are referred to as LPCs. LPCs are accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815 and recorded at fair value in derivative financial instruments on Nationstar's consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent changes in LPCs are recorded as a charge or credit to gain on mortgage loans held for sale.
	Periodically, Nationstar has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest payment on the warehouse debt and securitization of its mortgage loans held for sale. These interest rate swap agreements generally require Nationstar to pay a fixed interest rate and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. Unless designated as an accounting hedge, Nationstar records gains and losses on interest rate swaps as a component of gain/(loss) on interest rate swaps and caps in Nationstar’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Unrealized losses on undesignated interest rate derivatives are separately disclosed under operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815 are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, with any changes in fair value related to the effective portion of the hedge being recorded as an adjustment to other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in interest expense in the same period the hedged forecast transaction affects earnings. To qualify as a cash flow hedge, the hedge must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be formally designated at hedge inception. Nationstar considers a hedge to be highly effective if the change in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument is within 80% to 125% of the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Ineffective portions of the cash flow hedge are reflected in earnings as they occur as a component of interest expense. There are no designated accounting hedges outstanding as of June 30, 2014.
	Associated with the Company's derivatives is $27.9 million and $25.9 million in collateral deposits on derivative instruments recorded in other assets on the Company's balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments and the amounts collected and/or deposited on derivative instruments in its consolidated balance sheets.

	Total	$	2,443,962			$	2,444,062
	(1) Nationstar redeemed all of its outstanding 10.875% Senior Notes due 2015 on July 25, 2014 (the Redemption Date) at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
	The indentures for the unsecured senior notes contain various covenants and restrictions that limit the Nationstar's, or certain of its subsidiaries’, ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make certain investments, create liens, consolidate, merge or sell substantially all of their assets, or enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The indentures contain certain events of default, including (subject, in some cases, to customary cure periods and materiality thresholds) defaults based on (i) the failure to make payments under the indenture when due, (ii) breach of covenants, (iii) cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, (iv) certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, (v) material judgments and (vi) invalidity of material guarantees.
	The indentures for the unsecured senior notes provide that Nationstar may redeem all or a portion of the notes prior to certain fixed dates by paying a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption dates. In addition, Nationstar may redeem all or a portion of the senior notes at any time on or after certain fixed dates at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the indentures plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption dates.
	Additionally, the indentures provide that on or before certain fixed dates, Nationstar may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a fixed redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption dates, subject to compliance with certain conditions.
	The ratios included in the indentures for the senior notes are incurrence-based compared to the customary ratio covenants that are often found in credit agreements that require a company to maintain a certain ratio.
	As of June 30, 2014, the expected maturities of Nationstar's unsecured senior notes based on contractual maturities are as follows:
	Year	Amount
	2014	$	—
	2015	285,000			(1)
	2016	—

	(1) Nationstar redeemed all of its outstanding 10.875% Senior Notes due 2015 on July 25, 2014 (the Redemption Date) at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
	Other Nonrecourse Debt
A summary of the balances of other nonrecourse debt is presented below:
	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
Nonrecourse debt - Legacy Assets	$	82,731			$	89,107
Excess spread financing - fair value	1,036,038				986,410
Participating interest financing	1,285,853				1,103,490
Mortgage servicing rights financing liabilities	33,452				29,874
Total	$	2,438,074			$	2,208,881
Nonrecourse Debt–Legacy Assets
In November 2009, Nationstar completed the securitization of approximately $222.0 million of ABS, which was structured as a secured borrowing. This structure resulted in Nationstar carrying the securitized loans as mortgages on Nationstar’s consolidated balance sheet and recognizing the asset-backed certificates acquired by third parties as nonrecourse debt, totaling approximately $82.7 million and $89.1 million at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. The principal and interest on these notes are paid using the cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. The interest rate paid on the outstanding securities is 7.50%, which is subject to an available funds cap. The total outstanding principal balance on the underlying mortgage loans serving as collateral for the debt was approximately $282.5 million and $302.0 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments on this nonrecourse debt is dependent on the payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. The unpaid principal balance on the outstanding notes was $96.2 million and $103.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Excess Spread Financing Debt at Fair Value
In conjunction with Nationstar's acquisition of certain MSRs on various pools of residential mortgage loans (the Portfolios), Nationstar has entered into sale and assignment agreements with certain entities formed by New Residential Investment Corp. (New Residential) in which New Residential and/or certain funds managed by Fortress own an interest. Nationstar, in transactions accounted for as financing arrangements, sold to such entities the right to receive a specified percentage of the excess cash flow generated from the Portfolios after receipt of a fixed basic servicing fee per loan. Nationstar has elected fair value accounting for these financing agreements.
Nationstar retains all ancillary income associated with servicing the Portfolios and the remaining portion of the excess cash flow after receipt of a fixed basic servicing fee. Nationstar continues to be the servicer of the Portfolios and provides all servicing and advancing functions. New Residential has no prior or ongoing obligations associated with the Portfolios.
Contemporaneous with the above, Nationstar entered into refinanced loan agreements with New Residential. Should Nationstar refinance any loan in the Portfolios, subject to certain limitations, Nationstar can be required to transfer the new loan or a replacement loan of similar economic characteristics into the Portfolios. The new or replacement loan will be governed by the same terms set forth in the sale and assignment agreement described above.
The following table shows the hypothetical effect on fair value of excess spread financing using various unfavorable variations of the expected levels of certain key assumptions used in valuing these liabilities at the dates indicated:
	Discount Rate							Total Prepayment				Credit Losses
								Speeds
	100 bps			200 bps				10%		20%		10%		20%
	Adverse			Adverse				Adverse		Adverse		Adverse		Adverse
	Change			Change				Change		Change		Change		Change
June 30, 2014
Excess spread financing	$	33,581		$	69,402			$	21,916	$	46,142	$	18,463	$	32,968
December 31, 2013
Excess spread financing	$	33,156		$	68,636			$	26,492	$	53,753	$	29,219	$	42,611
As the fair value on the outstanding excess spread financing is linked to the future economic performance of certain acquired MSRs, any adverse changes in the acquired MSRs would inherently benefit the net carrying amount of the excess spread financing, while any beneficial changes in certain key assumptions used in valuing the acquired MSRs would negatively impact the net carrying amount of the excess spread financing.
These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors (e.g., a decrease in total prepayment speeds may result in an increase in credit losses), which could impact the above hypothetical effects. Also, a positive change in the above assumptions would not necessarily correlate with the corresponding decrease in the net carrying amount of the excess spread financing.
Participating Interest Financing
Participating interest financing represents the issuance of pools of Home Equity Conversion Mortgage Backed Securities (HMBS) to third-party security holders which are guaranteed by certain GSEs. Nationstar has accounted for the transfer of these advances in the related Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM) loans as secured borrowings, retaining the initial reverse mortgage interests on its consolidated balance sheet, and recording the pooled HMBS as participating interest financing liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Monthly cash flows generated from the HECM loans are used to service the HMBS. The interest rate is based on the underlying HMBS rate with a range of 0.14% to 6.98%. The participating interest financing was $1,285.9 million and $1,103.5 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Mortgage Servicing Rights Financing Liabilities
Nationstar has entered into agreements to sell the basic fee component of certain MSRs and servicer advances under specified terms. Under the terms of these agreements, the transfer of servicing is contingent on the receipt of consents from various third parties. Until these required consents are obtained Nationstar continues to be the named servicer and, for accounting purposes, ownership of the mortgage servicing rights continues to reside with Nationstar. Nationstar continues to account for the MSRs on its consolidated balance sheets. In addition, Nationstar records a MSRs financing liability associated with this financing transaction.
Nationstar has elected to measure the mortgage servicing rights financings at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded as a charge or credit to servicing fee income in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Financial Covenants
As of June 30, 2014, management believes Nationstar was in compliance with its financial covenants on its borrowing arrangements and credit facilities. These covenants generally relate to Nationstar's tangible net worth, liquidity reserves and leverage requirements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies when GAAP requires or allows assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstance.
	ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy based on the level of observable inputs used in the measurement of fair value (e.g., Level 1 representing quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market; Level 2 representing values using observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1; and Level 3 representing estimated values based on significant unobservable inputs). In addition, ASC 820 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including its own credit standing, when measuring the fair value of a liability. Under ASC 820, related disclosures are segregated for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the level used within the hierarchy to determine their fair values.
	The following describes the methods and assumptions used by Nationstar in estimating fair values:
	Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash – The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are classified as Level 1 in the fair value disclosures.
	Mortgage Loans Held for Sale – Nationstar originates mortgage loans in the U.S. that it intends to sell to Fannie Mae, Freddie
	Mac, and Ginnie Mae (collectively, the Agencies). Additionally, Nationstar holds mortgage loans that it intends to sell into the
	secondary markets via whole loan sales or securitizations. Nationstar measures newly originated prime residential mortgage
	loans held for sale at fair value.
	Mortgage loans held for sale are typically pooled together and sold into certain exit markets, depending upon underlying attributes of the loan, such as agency eligibility, product type, interest rate, and credit quality. Mortgage loans held for sale are valued using a market approach by utilizing either: (i) the fair value of securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole mortgage loan, including the value attributable to mortgage servicing and credit risk, (ii) current commitments to purchase loans or (iii) recent observable market trades for similar loans, adjusted for credit risk and other individual loan characteristics. As these prices are derived from market prices, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.
	In addition, the Company may acquire mortgage loans held for sale from various securitization trusts for which it acts as
	servicer through the exercise of various clean-up call options as permitted through the respective pooling and servicing
	agreements. The Company has elected to account for these loans at the lower of cost or market. Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.
	Mortgage Loans Held for Investment, net – Nationstar determines the fair value of loans held for investment using internally developed valuation models. These valuation models estimate the exit price Nationstar expects to receive in the loan’s principal market. Although Nationstar utilizes and gives priority to observable market inputs such as interest rates and market spreads within these models, Nationstar typically is required to utilize internal inputs, such as prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates. These internal inputs require the use of judgment by Nationstar and can have a significant impact on the determination of the loan’s fair value. As these prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	Mortgage Servicing Rights – Fair Value – Nationstar estimates the fair value of its forward MSRs using a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, ancillary fees, credit losses and costs to service. These assumptions are generated and applied based on collateral stratifications including product type, remittance type, geography, delinquency and coupon dispersion. These assumptions require the use of judgment by Nationstar and can have a significant impact on the determination of the MSR’s fair value. Periodically, management obtains third party valuations on the portfolio to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculations provided by the cash flow model. Because of the nature of the valuation inputs, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	Reverse Mortgage Interests – Nationstar’s reverse mortgage interests consist of fees paid to taxing authorities for borrowers' unpaid taxes and insurance, and payments made to borrowers for line of credit draws on reverse mortgages. These advances include due and payable advances, which are recovered upon the foreclosure and sale of the subject property, and defaulted advances that can be securitized. These interests are carried at the lower of cost or market in the financial statements. Nationstar estimates the fair value using a market approach by utilizing the fair value of securities backed by similar advances on reverse mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors. Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	REO – Nationstar carries REO at fair value and determines the fair value of REO properties through the use of third-party appraisals and broker price opinions, adjusted for estimated selling costs. Such estimated selling costs include realtor fees and other anticipated closing costs. These values are adjusted to take into account factors that could cause the actual liquidation value of foreclosed properties to be different than the appraised values. This valuation adjustment is based upon Nationstar’s historical experience with REO. REO is classified as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	Derivative Financial Instruments – Nationstar enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of its hedging strategy. The majority of these derivatives are exchange-traded or traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, Nationstar utilizes the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract; therefore, these contracts are classified as Level 2. In addition, Nationstar enters into IRLCs and LPCs with prospective borrowers and other loan originators. These commitments are carried at fair value based on the fair value of related mortgage loans which are based on observable market data. Nationstar adjusts the outstanding IRLCs with prospective borrowers based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded. IRLCs and LPCs are recorded in derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets. These commitments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.
	Notes Payable – Notes payable consists of outstanding borrowings on Nationstar's warehouse and advance financing facilities. As the underlying warehouse and advance finance facilities bear interest at rates that are periodically adjusted based on a market index, the carrying amount reported on the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair value. Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	Unsecured Senior Notes – The fair value of unsecured senior notes, which are carried at amortized cost, is based on quoted market prices and is considered Level 1 from the market observable inputs used to determine fair value.
	Nonrecourse Debt – Legacy Assets – Nationstar estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. These prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices, and are classified as Level 3.
	Excess Spread Financing – Nationstar estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions at June 30, 2014 being mortgage prepayment speeds of 13.0%, average life of 4.8 years, recapture rates of 5.0% to 36.4%, and discount rate of 11.7%. Key assumptions at December 31, 2013, were mortgage prepayment speeds of 10.6%, average life of 4.7 years, recapture rates of 5.0% to 35.8%, and discount rate of 13.9%. Changes in fair value of the excess spread financing are recorded as a component of service fee income in Nationstar's consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. As these prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices based on the value of the underlying MSRs, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	The range of various assumptions used in Nationstar's valuation of excess spread financing were as follows:
	Excess Spread financing	Prepayment Speeds	Average Life (years)	Discount Rate	Recapture Rate
	For the six months ended June 30, 2014
	Low	7.50%	3.2 years	8.60%	5.00%
	High	16.40%	7.3 years	14.00%	36.40%
	For the year ended December 31, 2013
	Low	4.00%	3.4 years	10.10%	5.00%
	High	17.60%	5.7 years	20.00%	35.80%
	A positive change in the above assumptions would not necessarily correlate with the corresponding decrease in the net carrying amount of the excess spread financing.
	Mortgage Servicing Rights Financing - Nationstar estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions at June 30, 2014 being advance financing rates of 2.9%, annual advance recovery rates of 21.1%, and working capital. Changes in fair value of the mortgage servicing rights financing liability are recorded as a component of service fee income in Nationstar’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As these prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices based on the value of the underlying MSRs, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	Participating Interest Financing – Nationstar estimates the fair value using a market approach by utilizing the fair value of securities backed by similar participating interests in reverse mortgage loans. Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.
	The estimated carrying amount and fair value of Nationstar’s financial instruments and other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows for the dates indicated:

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]	'
Shareholders' Equity	'
	Share-Based Compensation
	Share-based compensation is recognized in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. This guidance requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, based on the fair values. The amount of compensation is measured at the fair value of the awards when granted and this cost is expensed over the required service period, which is normally the vesting period of the award, and is included as a component of salaries, wages and benefits in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
	Nationstar has adopted the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (2012 Plan), that offers equity-based awards to certain key employees of Nationstar, consultants, and non-employee directors. The following table summarizes information about our restricted stock as of June 30, 2014 under the 2012 Plan:
				Weighted Average
		Shares				Remaining
				Grant Date Fair Value, per share		Contractual Term
						(in years)(1)
	Restricted stock outstanding at December 31, 2012	1,293
	Grants issued in 2013	307		$37.88		1.7
	Forfeited	-56		$20.46
	Shares surrendered to treasury to pay taxes	-168
	Restricted stock outstanding at December 31, 2013	1,376
	Grants issued in 2014	910		$31.93		3.1
	Forfeited	-72		$27.43
	Shares surrendered to treasury to pay taxes	-151
	Restricted stock outstanding at June 30, 2014	2,063
	Restricted stock unvested and expected to vest	1,255
	Restricted stock vested and payable at June 30, 2014	—
	(1) Remaining contractual term is as of June 30, 2014.
	The following table summarizes the expected future vesting schedule of the restricted stock grants:
		2014	2015	2016	2017	2018
	Restricted stock expected to vest	18	605	320	244	68
	Total compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for the 2012 Plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $4.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Total compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for the 2012 Plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Nationstar expects to recognize $9.3 million of compensation expense in the last six months of 2014, $10.8 million in 2015, $4.5 million in 2016, $1.3 million in 2017, and $0.3 million in 2018.

Capital Requirements	'
	Capital Requirements
	Certain of Nationstar's secondary market investors require minimum net worth (capital) requirements, as specified in the respective selling and servicing agreements. To the extent that these requirements are not met, Nationstar's secondary market investors may utilize a range of remedies ranging from sanctions, suspension or ultimately termination of Nationstar's selling and servicing agreements, which would prohibit Nationstar from further originating or securitizing these specific types of mortgage loans or being an approved servicer.
	Among Nationstar's various capital requirements related to its outstanding selling agreements, the most restrictive of these requires Nationstar to maintain a minimum adjusted net worth balance of $670.9 million. As of June 30, 2014, Nationstar was in compliance with its selling and servicing capital requirements.
	Additionally, Nationstar is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $517.3 million as of each quarter-end related to its outstanding Master Repurchase Agreements on its outstanding repurchase facilities. As of June 30, 2014, Nationstar was in compliance with these minimum tangible net worth requirements.

	Litigation and Regulatory Matters
	Nationstar and its affiliates are routinely and currently involved in a significant number of legal proceedings concerning matters that arise in the ordinary course of business, including putative class actions and other litigation. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of consumer protection, securities, employment, contract and other laws, including, without limitation, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Servicemember's Civil Relief Act, Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Truth in Lending Act. Additionally, along with others in our industry, the Company is subject to repurchase and indemnification claims and may continue to receive claims in the future, relating to the sale of mortgage loans and/or the servicing of mortgage loans and securitizations. The Company is also subject to legal actions or proceedings related to loss sharing and indemnification provisions of our various acquisitions. Certain of the actual legal actions and proceedings include claims for substantial compensatory, punitive and/or statutory damages or claims for an indeterminate amount of damages. The outcome of such proceedings is difficult to predict or estimate until late in the proceedings, which may last several years. In particular, ongoing and other legal proceedings brought under federal or state consumer protection laws may result in a separate fine for each violation of the laws, which, particularly in the case of class action lawsuits, could result in damages substantially in excess of the amount earned from the underlying activities and that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity and financial position. The certification of any putative class action could substantially increase the Company's exposure to damages.
	Further, in the ordinary course of business the Company and its subsidiaries can be or are involved in governmental and regulatory examinations, information gathering requests, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal), regarding the Company’s business, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. Such inquiries may include those into servicer foreclosure processes and procedures, lender-placed insurance and originations.
	The Company seeks to resolve all litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company and contests liability, allegations of wrongdoing and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where available information indicates that it is probable a liability has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss an accrued liability is established. The actual costs of resolving these proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued.
	When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is both probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and estimable. Once the matter is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount to litigation related expense. The Company will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Litigation related expense, which includes the fees paid to external legal service providers, of $10.3 million and $15.2 million were included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $4.4 million and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, were included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
	For a number of matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible in future periods, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company may be able to estimate a range of possible loss. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss or range of possible loss, the Company reviews and evaluates its material litigation and regulatory matters on an ongoing basis, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter. For those matters for which an estimate is possible, management currently believes the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss is $2.7 million to $6.6 million in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, numerous assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary substantially from the current estimate. Those matters for which an estimate is not possible are not included within the estimated range. Therefore, this estimated range of possible loss represents what management believes to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Company's maximum loss exposure.
	Based on current knowledge, and after consultation with counsel, management believes that the current legal accrued liability is appropriate, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, although the outcome of such proceedings could be material to the Company’s operating results and cash flows for a particular period depending, on among other things, the level of the Company’s revenues or income for such period. However, in the event of significant developments on existing cases, it is possible that the ultimate resolution, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	Loan and Other Commitments
	Nationstar enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers whereby the Company commits to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and interest rates to the borrower. Nationstar also enters into LPCs with prospective sellers. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value (See Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments).
	Nationstar has certain MSRs related to approximately $28.6 billion of unpaid principal balance in reverse mortgage loans. As servicer for these reverse mortgage loans, among other things, the Company is obligated to make advances to the loan customers as required. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s maximum unfunded advance obligation related to these MSRs was approximately $4.2 billion. Upon funding any portion of these advances, the Company expects to securitize and sell the advances in transactions that will be accounted for as a financing arrangement.

Business Segment Reporting	'
	Business Segment Reporting
	As of the second quarter of 2014, the Company realigned its business segment reporting structure as a result of the change in the Chief Operating Decision Maker. While this financial data reflects the change in the Company's reportable segments described below, including the historical data presented for comparison purposes, the Company has not revised or restated its historical financial statements for any period. The realignment principally involved the separation of the former ‘Servicing’ segment into two segments and the reclassification of previously allocated corporate costs, including interest costs related to Nationstar’s unsecured senior debt, into the Corporate and Other segment. Corporate costs included within the Corporate and Other segment include expenses related to certain executive salaries and other corporate functions that are not directly attributable to our operating segments.
	Nationstar’s segments are based upon Nationstar’s organizational structure which focuses primarily on the services offered. The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of Nationstar except for 1) expenses for consolidated back-office operations and general overhead-type expenses such as executive administration and accounting, and 2) revenues generated on inter-segment services performed. Expenses are allocated to individual segments based on the estimated value of services performed, including estimated utilization of square footage and corporate personnel as well as the equity invested in each segment. Revenues generated or inter-segment services performed are valued based on similar services provided to external parties.
	To reconcile to Nationstar’s consolidated results, certain inter-segment revenues and expenses are eliminated in the “Eliminations” column in the following tables.
	The following tables are a presentation of financial information by segment for the periods indicated:

	Disclosures Related to Transactions with Affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC
	Nationstar has several agreements to act as the loan subservicer for Springleaf Home Equity, Inc., Springleaf General Financial Services of Arkansas, Inc. and MorEquity, Inc. (collectively, Springleaf) totaling $2.8 billion for which Nationstar receives a monthly per loan subservicing fee and other performance incentive fees subject to the agreements with Springleaf. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 Nationstar recognized revenue of $1.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively in additional servicing and other performance incentive fees related to these portfolios. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, Nationstar recognized revenue of $3.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively in additional servicing and other performance incentive fees related to these portfolios. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Nationstar had an outstanding receivable from Springleaf of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which was included as a component of accounts receivable.
	Nationstar is the loan servicer for several securitized loan portfolios managed by Newcastle Investment Corp. (Newcastle), which is managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC, for which Nationstar receives a monthly net servicing fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the unpaid principal balance of the portfolios, which was $0.8 billion and $0.9 billion, as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, Nationstar received servicing fees and other performance incentive fees of $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, Nationstar received servicing fees and other performance incentive fees of $2.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
	Additionally, Nationstar has entered into several agreements with certain entities formed by New Residential, in which New Residential and/or certain funds managed by Fortress own an interest (each a "New Residential Entity"), where Nationstar sold to the related New Residential Entity the right to receive a portion of the excess cash flow generated from certain acquired MSRs after receipt of a fixed basic servicing fee per loan. Nationstar retains all ancillary income associated with servicing such MSRs and the remaining portion of the excess cash flow after receipt of the fixed basic servicing fee. Nationstar is the servicer of the loans and provides all servicing and advancing functions for the portfolio. The related New Residential Entity does not have prior or ongoing obligations associated with these MSR portfolios. Furthermore, should Nationstar refinance any loan in such portfolios, subject to certain limitations, Nationstar will be required to transfer the new loan or a replacement loan of similar economic characteristics into the portfolios. The new or replacement loan will be governed by the same terms set forth in the agreements described above.
	In addition, Nationstar has paid $15.1 million to New Residential for delinquent service fees in advance of the contractual due date. This amount will be ultimately netted against future remittances as related to service fee amounts. This amount is
	recorded as an offset to outstanding excess spread financing in our financial statements.
	The fair value on the outstanding liability related to these agreements was $1,036.0 million and $986.4 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	In February 2013, Nationstar acquired certain fixed and adjustable rate reverse mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance totaling $83.1 million for a purchase price of $50.2 million. In conjunction with this acquisition, Nationstar entered into an agreement with NIC Reverse Loan LLC, a subsidiary of Newcastle, to sell a participating interest amounting to 70% of the acquired reverse mortgage loans. Both Nationstar and NIC Reverse Loan LLC are entitled to the related percentage interest of all amounts received with respect to the reverse mortgage loans, net of payments of servicing fees and the reimbursement to Nationstar of servicing advances. Nationstar receives a fixed payment per loan for servicing these reverse mortgage loans. Nationstar records these reverse mortgage loans as reverse mortgage interests on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.
	In December 2013, we launched a new servicing acquisition structure. Under this structure, we agreed to sell to a joint venture
	entity capitalized by New Residential and other investors (collectively, the Purchaser), approximately $2.7 billion of servicer
	advances currently outstanding on three pools of residential, non-agency mortgage loans, with the potential for up to $6.3
	billion. We also agreed to the sale of the basic fee component of related mortgage servicing rights of approximately $44.3 billion of UPB with potential for up to $130.1 billion of UPB. We will continue to act as named servicer under each servicing agreement until servicing is transferred to the Purchaser. After the transfer of servicing under any servicing agreement to the Purchaser, we will subservice the applicable residential mortgage loans.
	While the transfer of the mortgage servicing rights to New Residential is intended to achieve the economic result of a sale of
	mortgage servicing rights, we will account for the transactions as financings until the required third party consents are obtained
	and ownership, for accounting purposes, of the MSRs transfer to New Residential.
	Special purpose subsidiaries of Nationstar previously issued approximately $2.1 billion of nonrecourse variable funding notes
	(the Notes) to finance the advances funded or acquired by Nationstar. The Notes were issued through two wholly-owned special purpose entities (the Issuers) pursuant to two servicer advance facilities. Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, New Residential purchased the outstanding equity of the wholly-owned special purpose entities of Nationstar that own the Issuers (the Depositors). On the sale date, New Residential and Nationstar amended and restated the transaction documents for each facility. Under these amended and restated transaction documents for each facility, Nationstar will continue to sell future service advances to New Residential, and New Residential will sell the new servicer advances to the Depositors.
	Nationstar received approximately $307.3 million in cash proceeds from the Sale Agreement. The fair value of the outstanding
	liability related to the Sale Agreement was $33.5 million at June 30, 2014.
	In May 2014, Nationstar entered into a servicing arrangement with New Residential whereby Nationstar will service residential mortgage loans that New Residential and/or its various affiliates and trust entities acquire. The terms and fees of this servicing arrangement generally conform with industry standards for stand-alone residential mortgage loan servicing.
	In January 2014, Nationstar entered into one Sale Supplements (together with the Master Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, collectively the “January Sale Agreement”) with the Purchaser. Under the January Sale Agreement, Nationstar sold to the Purchaser the right to repayment on approximately $253.5 million of servicer advances related to non-agency mortgage loans. In addition, Nationstar also sold the right to receive the basic fee component of the related mortgage servicing rights of approximately $8.3 billion of UPB, in exchange for the Purchaser remitting a portion of the basic fee to Nationstar continuing to service the mortgage loans. Nationstar received approximately $253.5 million in cash proceeds from the January Sale Agreement.
	In February 2014, Nationstar entered into a Sale Supplement (together with the Master Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, collectively the “February Sale Agreement”) with the Purchaser. Under the February Sale Agreement, Nationstar sold to the Purchaser the right to repayment on approximately $756.2 million of servicer advances related to non-agency mortgage loans. In addition, Nationstar also sold the right to receive the basic fee component of the related mortgage servicing rights of approximately $9.4 billion of UPB, in exchange for the Purchaser remitting a portion of the basic fee to Nationstar continuing to service the mortgage loans. Nationstar received approximately $91.4 million in cash proceeds from the February Sale Agreement.
	In March 2014, Nationstar entered into a Sale Supplement (together with the Master Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, collectively the “March Sale Agreement”) with the Purchaser. Under the March Sale Agreement, Nationstar sold to the Purchaser the right to repayment on approximately $299.1 million of servicer advances related to non-agency mortgage loans. In addition, Nationstar also sold the right to receive the basic fee component of the related mortgage servicing rights of approximately $10.5 billion of UPB, in exchange for the Purchaser remitting a portion of the basic fee to Nationstar continuing to service the mortgage loans. Nationstar received approximately $41.4 million in cash proceeds from the March Sale Agreement.
	In May 2014, Nationstar entered into Sale Supplements (together with the Master Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, collectively the “May Sale Agreement”) with the Purchaser. Under the May Sale Agreement, Nationstar sold to the Purchaser the right to repayment on approximately $617.5 million of servicer advances related to non-agency mortgage loans. In addition, Nationstar also sold the right to receive the basic fee component of the related mortgage servicing rights of approximately $12.0 billion of UPB, in exchange for the Purchaser remitting a portion of the basic fee to Nationstar for continuing to service the mortgage loans. Nationstar received approximately $75.2 million in cash proceeds from the May Sale Agreement.
	In June 2014, Nationstar entered into Sale Supplements (together with the Master Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, collectively the “June Sale Agreement”) with the Purchaser. Under the June Sale Agreement, Nationstar sold to the Purchaser the right to repayment on approximately $303.8 million of servicer advances related to non-agency mortgage loans. In addition, Nationstar also sold the right to receive the basic fee component of the related mortgage servicing rights of approximately $14.0 billion of UPB, in exchange for the Purchaser remitting a portion of the basic fee to Nationstar for continuing to service the mortgage loans. Nationstar received approximately $51.0 million in cash proceeds from the June Sale Agreement.

	In July 2014, Nationstar entered into two co-investment transactions with certain entities formed by New Residential in which New Residential, and/or certain funds managed by Fortress own an interest (each a "New Residential Entity"), where Nationstar sold the related New Residential Entity the right to receive a portion of the excess cash flow generated from certain MSRs, after receipt of a fixed basic servicing fee per loan. Nationstar retains all ancillary income associated with servicing such MSRs and the remaining portion of the excess cash flow after receipt of the fixed basic servicing fee.

	On July 31, 2014, Nationstar entered in a new $80.0 million servicing advance facility with a financial institution, which will expire July 2015. The interest rate is based on LIBOR plus 3.50%
	In July 2014, Nationstar amended the MRA of the $700.0 million warehouse facility with a financial institution. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the maturity date was extended to September 2014.
	Nationstar redeemed all of its outstanding 10.875% Senior Notes due 2015 on July 25, 2014 (the Redemption Date) at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

Consolidation, Policy	'
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nationstar, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where Nationstar's wholly-owned subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. Nationstar applies the equity method of accounting to investments when the entity is not a VIE and Nationstar is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the policies and procedures of the entity but owns less than 50% of the voting interests. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Results of operations, assets and liabilities of VIEs are included from the date that Nationstar became the primary beneficiary through the date Nationstar ceases to be the primary beneficiary.
Basis of Accounting, Policy	'
	The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included. The consolidated interim financial statements of Nationstar have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Nationstar's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2014.
