Item1.01.
| Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. | 
  As previously announced by Walter Investment Management Corp.
  (the Company, we or our) on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed
  with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on May26,
  2017, due to an error in the Companys calculation of the
  valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset balances, the
  Company has concluded that the previously issued audited
  consolidated financial statements and other financial information
  contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
  fiscal year ended December31, 2016 and the previously issued
  unaudited consolidated financial statements and other financial
  information contained in the Companys Quarterly Reports on Form
  10-Q for the fiscal periods ended June30, 2016,September30, 2016
  and March31, 2017 should no longer be relied upon and will
  require restatement (collectively, the Restatement).
  In light of the Companys need to restate the aforementioned
  financial statements, the Company has sought necessary waivers to
  certain provisions of a number of its and its subsidiaries credit
  and financing arrangements.
  On May 26, 2017, the Company obtained a limited waiver to its
  Amended and Restated Receivables Loan Agreement, dated May 2,
  2012 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified prior to the
  date hereof), by and among Green Tree Advance Receivables II LLC,
  as borrower, Ditech Financial LLC (f/k/a Green Tree Servicing
  LLC), as administrator, the financial institutions from time to
  time party thereto (each, a Lender), Wells Fargo Bank, National
  Association, as calculation agent, verification agent, account
  bank and securities intermediary and Wells Fargo Capital Finance,
  LLC, as agent and sole Lender, and related transaction documents
  (the GTAR Limited Waiver).
  On May29, 2017, the Company obtained limited waivers to the
  following agreements and related transaction documents
  (collectively, the RMS Limited Waivers):
| Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated May22, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof), among Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc., as a seller, RMS REO BRC, LLC, as a seller, and Barclays Bank PLC, as purchaser and agent; and | 
| Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of February21, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof) among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC, as administrative agent, Credit Suisse AG, acting through its Cayman Islands Branch, as a committed buyer and a buyer, Alpine Securitization LTD, as a buyer, and other buyers joined thereto from time to time, Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc., as a seller, and RMS REO CS, LLC. | 
  We have received similar limited waivers from each of our other
  warehouse and advance facility lenders to the extent necessary
  (collectively with the GTAR Limited Waiver and RMS Limited
  Waivers, the Waivers).
  The Waivers waive any default, event of default, amortization
  event, termination event or similar event resulting or arising
  from the Restatement. In connection with the Waivers, certain of
  the Companys lenders have effected reductions in our advance
  rates and /or have required other changes to the terms of such
  facilities. The Waivers expire on June9, 2017, prior to which
  time the Company intends to seek additional waivers or
  extensions.
  The Company will continue to seek appropriate amendments, waivers
  and / or forbearances to a number of its and its subsidiaries
  credit, financing and other arrangements, in relation to the
  Restatement, as it considers advisable.
  The foregoing descriptions of the GTAR Limited Waiver and RMS
  Limited Waivers do not purport to be complete and are qualified
  in their entirety by reference to the full text of the GTAR
  Limited Waiver and RMS Limited Waivers, which the Company intends
  to file as exhibits to the Companys next Quarterly Report on Form
  10-Q.
| Item8.01. | Other Events. | 
  The Company has previously disclosed its initiative to
  significantly de-lever its balance sheet in the near-term to
  maintain sufficient access to the loan and capital markets on
  commercially acceptable terms to finance its business, and is
  devoting substantial time and resources to address this pressing
  need. The Company has engaged Weil, Gotshal Manges LLP and
  Houlihan Lokey as its legal and investment banking debt
  restructuring advisors, respectively. To support its legal and
  investment banking debt restructuring advisors in its debt
  restructuring initiative and assist with operational initiatives,
  the Company has also recently engaged Alvarez Marsal North
  America, LLC as its financial debt restructuring advisor.
  The Company and its debt restructuring advisors have commenced
  discussions with the financial and legal advisors to certain
  organized ad hoc groups of holders of the Companys indebtedness
  under the Companys Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated
  as of December19, 2013, and the Companys 7.875% Senior Notes due
  2021, including discussions regarding the default under such
  financings arising as a result of the Restatement and potential
  strategies and options for a viable near-term, comprehensive
  de-leveraging transaction. Advisors to these two groups of
  creditors have begun a diligence process and, in connection
  therewith, have requested information from the Company regarding
  our operational and strategic goals, our internal business plans,
  our liquidity projections, developing conditions in the terms of
  our financing arrangements as they are amended, the recent
  performance of our originations segment and other matters.
  If the Company is unable to effectuate a satisfactory debt
  restructuring, the Company expects that it will experience
  continuing adverse pressures on its relationships with
  counterparties who are critical to its business, its ability to
  access the capital markets, its ability to execute on its
  operational and strategic goals and its business, prospects,
  results of operations and liquidity generally. There can be no
  assurance as to when or whether the Company will implement any
  action as a result of its debt restructuring initiative, whether
  the implementation of one or more such actions will be
  successful, or the effects the failure to take action may have on
  the Companys business, its ability to achieve its operational and
  strategic goals or its ability to finance its business or
  refinance its indebtedness. The failure to address our level of
  corporate leverage in the near-term may have a material adverse
  effect on the Companys business, prospects, results of
  operations, liquidity and financial condition, and its ability to
  service or refinance its corporate debt as it becomes due in
  future years.
