kathy kraninger: Live & Latest News Updates : Vimarsana.com
Remember when lenders were fretting about Amazon rolling out a major home loan program? The new acronym that the mortgage industry was about to start using was “WACD” (What Amazon Can’t Do). We reminded ourselves that Amazon couldn’t do is to deliver high value and personalized service and build relationships that last a lifetime. Play to your strengths! One strength is keeping up with what is going on, especially in the regulatory world. Today’s L1 show at 2PM ET features Kathy Kraninger, former director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from 2018 to 2021, now CEO of the Florida Bankers Association, with a “behind the scenes” look at being the CFPB director and setting clear “rules of the road.” Next week Rich Swerbinsky returns to the airwaves on Thursday the 18th at 3PM ET, interviewing the CFPB’s Mark McArdle on what the big misconceptions about the CFPB are, and where its focus is currently.

A tax is a fine for doing well.” April 15th is in a week, the traditional date when taxes are due. Time flies. Do you realize that we have seven more months until the election? Seven more months of headlines and gaffes, posturing, missteps, and election trivia (like no Republican has been elected to the White House by a majority of Americans since 1988). I’m glad residential lending continues to motor along, albeit at a very moderate pace. Politics can determine the regulatory environment, and this Wednesday’s L1 “Mortgage Matters: The Weekly Roundup at 11AM PT has Kathy Kraninger, former director of the CFPB from 2018 to 2021, now CEO of the Florida Bankers Association.

Lender and Broker Products, Software, and Services A few hours from now, for the first time in nearly seven years, a total solar eclipse will cross the continental United States. Though the time between eclipses varies (it’ll be 2044 before the next one visits the contiguous 48 states) science assures us the choreography of our sun and moon is both cyclical and predictable. If only mortgage interest rates were as reliable! This week on Dark Matter Technologies’ ‘The Spotlight’ podcast, The Mortgage Collaborative President Melissa Langdale shares highlights from her co-op’s recent conference, including ways lenders are leveraging technology to make their processes and workforces more adaptable to our cyclical (but often unpredictable) market. Take 20 minutes and listen to the episode today!

This is a shade lower than the 66 percent nationwide. (Home ownership & operational challenges facing lenders are a couple of the topics Mike Metz with Arizona’s V.I.P. Mortgage will discuss today at 2PM CT.) And a huge percentage of those homeowners have low fixed rates. People can be “locked-in” or constrained in their ability to make appropriate financial changes, such as being unable to move homes or sell assets due to tax burdens. In the U.S., nearly all 50 million active mortgages have fixed rates, and most have interest rates far below prevailing market rates, creating a disincentive to sell. These frictions, whether institutional, legislative, personal, or market-driven, are a real problem. The FHFA, Fannie & Freddie’s conservator, has a research piece on this since residential real estate exemplifies this challenge with its physical immobility, high transaction costs, and concentrated wealth.
