This typically happens because once you close on your mortgage loan, your lender will quickly look to sell the mortgage note on to another entity. Doing so allows your mortgage provider to ensure future financial liquidity so that it can keep extending home loans to other borrowers.

A transfer of mortgage is the reassignment of an existing mortgage, usually on a home, from the current holder to another person or entity. Not all mortgages can be transferred; if they are, the lender has the right to approve the person assuming the loan.

Mortgages are assigned using a document called an assignment of mortgage. This legally transfers the original lender's interest in the loan to the new company. After doing this, the original lender will no longer receive the payments of principal and interest.

The most common example of an Assignment of Mortgage is when a mortgage lender transfers/sells the mortgage to another lender. This can be done more than once until the balance is paid. The lender does not have to inform the borrower that the mortgage is being assigned to another party.

An assignment of mortgage gives the loan seller's rights under the mortgage, including the right to foreclose if the borrower doesn't make payments, to the new owner of the loan.

Both the Courts and several years of case law hold that the actual mortgage is a nullity. It is the note that controls the ownership of the loan, and by operation of fiction, whoever holds the note will hold an equity right to foreclosure irrespective of who holds or has the mortgage.
