Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions (see General Instruction A.2. below):

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 2.03 is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously reported by Altisource Residential Corporation (the “Company”), on September 30, 2016, in connection with the acquisition of 4,262 single family rental properties (the “Acquisition”), HOME SFR Borrower, LLC (“Property Owner”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement (the “Original Loan Agreement”) with MSR I, L.P. and MSR II, L.P., as lenders (collectively, the “Original Lenders”), and MSR Lender LLC, as agent (the “New Lender”). Pursuant to the Original Loan Agreement, Property Owner borrowed approximately $489.3 million (the “Loan”) from the Original Lenders in connection with the Acquisition.

The Original Loan Agreement contemplated the securitization of the Loan by the New Lender and certain related amendments to the Original Loan Agreement to reflect the securitization. Therefore, as contemplated by the Original Loan Agreement, (i) the Original Lenders assigned all of their respective rights, title and interests in the Loan and the Original Loan Agreement to the New Lender, and (ii) on October 7, 2016, in connection with the securitization of the Loan, which closed on October 14, 2016, Property Owner and the New Lender entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”), effective as of October 14, 2016, to revise the initial principal amount and fixed-rate spread over one-month LIBOR for each component of the Loan set forth in the Original Loan Agreement. The aggregate amount of the Loan and the aggregate interest rate of the Loan remain unchanged from the Original Loan Agreement.

For purposes of computing interest accrued on the Loan, among other things, the A&R Loan Agreement divides the Loan into eight components designated as “Component A,” “Component B,” “Component C,” “Component D,” “Component E,” “Component F,” “Component G” and “Component H.” The following table shows the initial principal amount and fixed-rate spread added to one-month LIBOR for each monthly interest period for each component as updated in the A&R Loan Agreement.

Except as described above, no other material terms of the Original Loan Agreement were revised or updated in the A&R Loan Agreement. Such material terms are described in Item 2.03 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 3, 2016.

The foregoing description of the A&R Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Loan Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
