The New Jumbo Opportunities: Are MBS Conduit Sales a Good Option?
Non-agency lending is on the upswing, with jumbo originations leading the way.

Find out if conduit sales are a profitable delivery option for your non-agency mortgages at this IMF webinar.

Purchase-Mortgage Lending: Getting Ahead in a Post-Refi Market
As mortgage rates rise from their record lows and the pool of homeowners looking to refinance – particularly under the Home Affordable Refinance Program – is quickly drying up, some of the slack is being taken up by the growing home-purchase mortgage market. But even that sector is under pressure from investors and others using all-cash transactions to purchase homes. Learn how to maintain and grow your originations numbers as the market transitions from a refinance to a home-purchase focus at this IMF webinar.

Fair Lending Challenges: Preparing for Increased Enforcement - Order the CD or Download the MP3
The federal government has stepped up its fair lending game. The Department of Housing and Urban Development has released a new rule formalizing, and expanding, a longstanding – but controversial – prohibition on disparate impact. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has launched its fair lending enforcement and supervision, bringing the issue to nonbanks and other lenders who haven’t been in the crosshairs before. Hear from top regulatory experts who can help you understand the impact of the increasing fair lending enforcement on your business in the Inside Mortgage Finance webinar recording: Fair Lending Challenges: Preparing for Increased Enforcement.

Doing Business with Fannie and Freddie in 2013 - Order the CD or Download the MP3
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to dominate the residential mortgage market, accounting for nearly two out of every three mortgages made in 2012. At the same time, correspondent programs that helped the bigger banks feed their GSE pipelines are being cut back, in part due to regulatory compliance fears. The combination of these factors has led to an increasing number of smaller banks and nonbanks working directly with Fannie and Freddie for the first time. Find out how this changing mortgage lending landscape is prompting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to review and rethink their mortgage delivery and seller requirements.

LO Compensation: The New Rules - Order the CD or Download the MP3
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's final rule on loan originator compensation builds on regulations put into effect by the Federal Reserve nearly two years ago. But broader definitions for originator and compensation extend the impact of this rule to everyone from tellers to managers and make it nearly impossible to build your new compensation plans on the bones of your existing systems. Learn where the dividing lines are and how your procedures need to change to stay on the correct side. You’ll hear from a panel of legal experts who will explain the rule and discuss how to revise your current systems on CD or MP3 recording.

Originations in a QM World - Order the CD or MP3
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has just unveiled its anxiously anticipated “qualified mortgage” rule that will implement a so-called “ability-to-repay” standard for all mortgage lenders. It is perhaps the most far-reaching mortgage regulation mandated by the Dodd-Frank legislation and its impact is likely to be felt for years to come. Get an inside look at the CFPB’s new QM rule in this seminar recorded Jan. 31, 2013.
