  The next Non-QM: Jim Cory on the reverse sleeper opportunity

  Sep 24, 202619 min

  Homeowners 55 and up are sitting on enormous untapped equity, and most lenders still don't have a plan for it. Jim Cory, Managing Director of Reverse at Guild Mortgage and a board member at NRMLA, joins Zeb to explain how reverse mortgages went from a loan of last resort to a flexible tool for older homeowners and the almost-seniors behind them. He covers the rise of jumbo reverse products, the move from 62+ to 55+ eligibility, and why reverse for purchase may be the least understood play in the market. They also get into the industry shift: large IMBs are bringing reverse in house rather than brokering it out, building full departments the way they once did with non-QM. Plus stigma, Boomer tech adoption, and the referral network moving from realtors to financial planners and CPAs.

  Shant Banosian’s separation season: How top LOs win at 7%

  Sep 22, 202633 min

  Shant Banosian, president at Rate, calls this market “separation season,” the stretch when the best operators pull away from the pack. He leads 2,000 originators and has personally closed more than 40,000 loans and $10 billion in volume, and with rates above 7% he sees an opening most of the industry is missing. In this episode, he walks Clayton Collins through how top originators pair data and technology with real advice, where non-QM and AI in operations fit into Rate's plan, and why getting originators out of the file frees them for the relationship work that grows a business.

  Logan Mohtashami's housing market framework, explained

  Sep 15, 202636 min

  Logan Mohtashami built his housing market framework out of frustration with online “doom porn.” In this episode, HousingWire's lead analyst walks Zeb Lowe through how it actually works: why the 10-year yield and mortgage spreads matter more than the Fed funds rate, which labor data he watches first, and how he reads purchase apps, pending sales, inventory, and price cuts to judge pricing power. He also makes the case that today's market is structurally healthier than the 2000s bubble, thanks in part to 2005 bankruptcy reform and post-2010 QM rules. Plus, what he's watching for the rest of the year: the Fed's hawk-dove split, labor resilience, and oil risk out of the Strait of Hormuz.
