BACKGROUND:

Rising home prices, very affordable interest rates, and a healthy economy all helped keep mortgage delinquency and default rates at historically low levels over the past few years.

But a major reversal of economic and housing fortunes, combined with a loosening of underwriting in 2006, are triggering signs of growing loan problems. And there is speculation that the mortgage market will soon be forced to deal with a serious run-up in delinquencies and payment defaults. How you deal with these emerging problems will impact your bottom line.

Are you prepared for loan resets, delinquencies and/or defaults? Do you have an effective loss mitigation plan? Get the jump on what could be the industry’s biggest headache in 2007—problem loans—with an important new audio conference on loss mitigation.
