While the industry digests Freddie Mac’s first quarter earnings (47 percent purchase, 53 percent refi), if you try to correct my grammar, I will think fewer of you. Speaking of language, did you know that the alphabet in Hawai’i only contains 12 letters: a, e, i, o, u, h, k, l, m, n, p, and w. Every word ends with a vowel. (Sticklers may include an apostrophe – okina - as a separate letter.) I am spending some time in this marvelous area of the world, although a cynic would say, for me, it is merely working from a different place and waking up at 1AM instead of 4AM to send out the commentary. It is 2,500 miles Los Angeles to Honolulu (site of the annual MBAH conference in June), almost half of LA to Tokyo’s 5,500 miles. I mention this because Japan owns $1.3 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities. And some of those have dropped as much as ten points in value since late December. YIKES. But wait… if an investor buys an older pool of mortgages at a price ....

Sure, Fannie had $5.2 billion of net income in the fourth quarter of 2021, but money can’t buy you love. Love is more of a chemical reaction than a statistical study, but computers don’t deal so well with that. But stats will tell you that apparently the best place to find love is Buffalo, New York. Lending Tree released a report considering seven variables, including median single-person household income as well as the percentage of the population that isn’t married, or lives alone, to help determine which of the nation’s 50 largest metros are the best for single people. Rounding out the top five were Cleveland, Louisville, Detroit, and a tie between St. Louis and New Orleans. MLOs know that because single people often can’t rely on a “significant other” to bring in extra income, they need to take extra care that they’ve got enough money to make ends meet… or make a mortgage payment so areas with low costs of living can b ....

Fee Collection, MSR Acquisition Tools; Deep Dive into Recent Rate Moves; Capital Markets

Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life outta nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops. (Where did you think that was going?) There are always riddles and surprises out there (find the heart), but one is not originators helping borrowers create wealth through leverage and tax savings. Lenders are, in one sense, in the business of creating wealth. Whether it is helping someone buy a home that will appreciate over the long term, or helping them save money through equity or on taxes. Rates have moved higher, as we knew they would. But there’s still $10 trillion in untapped, much of it tappable equity in the U.S. Housing Market. Some estimates suggest $5 trillion since the pandemic began. Not all this can be converted to cash or used to pay off debt, of course. Credit card debt is back above $1 trillion as stimulus checks have dried up. Delinquencies are down, active foreclosures are down. It is still a great time to be in our bus ....

Jumbo Buyer Wanted; Secondary, Sales, Origination, Processing Tools; Jumbo News Around the Industry

While brokers have taken note of UWM suing America’s MoneyLine for sending loans to Rocket and Fairway (remember UWM’s policy plainly stated last March), this week I head to Florida, which retirees humorously refer to as “God’s waiting room.” The state has its share of expected hot markets for 2022 per Zillow, as does the rest of the Sunbelt. Apparently, people in the northern climes are weary of the yearly weather cycle, and, as usual, expect to establish residences to the south. Throughout our lives we go through many cycles. And who says we’re not in a cyclical business? Remember in the not-too-distant-past when lenders were pricing rates to “shut off the volume spigot” due to low rates? Last week U.S. Treasury prices fell with the 10-year yield briefly topping 1.93 percent, jumping from about 1.5 percent at the start of the year, and the 2-year Treasury is up 58 basis points since 1/1, as the Federal Reserve has signaled a mor ....

Secondary and Underwriting Products; Compliance Expert on Misconceptions

Here we are at Groundhog Day. A rodent predicting the weather has little tie-in with the 1993 movie of repeating the same day over and over again. Locks are certainly not repeating 2021 levels for January, with initial anecdotal pipeline numbers down 30-40 percent. Are you reducing costs accordingly? When the residential lending market is good, owners think they’re the smartest guys in the room, and in the last two years volume and margins have covered up a lot of faults. (And now, are homeowners all real estate geniuses?) Now, however, effective management is going to be tougher. Mortgage fraud is growing, and I’ve received more than one email about kickbacks on the rise. Great. At least you aren’t working in a Golden Corral in Pennsylvania! Never in the history of history of calm down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down.
