TMCDirect, The Mortgage Collaborative's private label loan trading platform, powered by Resitrader is attracting a massive amount of interest throughout the mortgage industry with an innovative platform that transforms the loan trading process by expediting the trading of spreadsheets and bid-tapes while adding additional layers of the security for their buyers and sellers. Here are insights from Resitrader offered to Rob Chrisman this past week. Resitrader reports on-going interest in buyers and sellers moving to its secondary market digital platform due to internal and external audits. “Our clients are getting pushback on e-mailed bid tapes, whether they’re password protected or not, due to NPI [Non-public Personal Information] data transmission through e-mail being insecure. And that’s driving them to online platforms,” said John Ardy, CEO of Resitrader. “We hear from our larger buyers, especially the regulated institutions, that the days of the emailed bid tape are numbered.”

With wire fraud on the rise in the mortgage industry why should I have a Wire Modification Process in place and what are some steps I can take to mitigate the risk of wire fraud? ANSWER: The potential of wire fraud is on the rise. Perpetrators have grown more sophisticated in their ability to disguise and find ways to make an email look legitimate. In fact, the FBI reported that the amount targeted by perpetrators via business email compromised in 2016 was $5.3 billion.1 Over the past three years, the Minneapolis FBI office has tracked approximately 14,000 victims in the United States with fraud approaching $1 billion.2 There are some steps to take in an effort to mitigate wire fraud by implementing process controls and best practices such as the following:

Ten years of manipulated interest rates held at record lows and a refinance atmosphere that settled most into a secure environment of consistent production has led to a comfortable but risky complacency.
The television has been saturated with commercials touting the fastest ways to refinance and begs our Veteran population to borrow up to 100% of their home’s value to eliminate consumer debt created during the past 10 years of mediocre economic growth. Much of our loan officer population has less than 10 years’ experience. They’re extremely tech savvy, but can they sell in a rising interest rate market when purchase, not refinance, is order of the day? If asked, can your origination staff define index or margin? Most are too inexperienced to know what an Adjustable Rate Mortgage is and how it works. ARMs will return because the homebuyer is used to interest rates in the 3% range and will demand a low rate with an affordable payment. The media will gasp as lenders promote ARMs, remembering only those programs that were interest-only with little to no underwriting required. The 3/1 – 5/1 - 5/5 and 7/1 adjustable rate programs, fully amortizing with solid caps and solid underwriting will be an attractive alternative to a higher fixed rate offering. Let’s not forget caps and fully indexed rate, something else the LO will have to learn about in order to intelligently discuss and explain to the borrower exactly how the adjustable rate mortgage works. Dust off your ARM disclosures, search for a quality portfolio investor and begin to train your sales staff to sell. ARMS, when sold to the right borrower, are a great way to diversify your product offering. Keeping interest rates at record lows assisted our industry, but hurt the over 62 population. There’s been no gain on fixed income assets and very small increases in their Social Security check. Rates will rise, but it’s not the time to panic. It’s time to think, to train and prepare to offer and sell a viable alternative to the fixed rate loan, ARMS! |
