The Better Answers Are Here

The Better Answers Are Here

It has been suggested that successful people ask better questions and therefore get better answers. In this issue, we asked the better questions, and our contributors have provided the better answers.

For instance, with the explosion in origination volumes over the last year, for our cover story we asked economist Selma Hepp of CoreLogic whether or not we are headed for another housing bubble a la 2008 and whether or not house prices will continue to trend upward.

Also in this issue: The pandemic resulted in legions of homeowners who could not make their mortgage payments due to financial difficulties, which in turn created hardships for mortgage servicers who had to offer forbearance to many borrowers. What does the future hold for forbearance? Michelle Gilbert of the Gilbert Garcia Group provides the answer.

Then we delve into the answer to the question, “Why are mortgage servicing problems on the uptick?” with an insightful piece from Felecia Bowers of Homeowners Financial Group.

That is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The answers to the above questions and much more lie within these pages.
