Every week I interview a different housing tech exec for the HousingStack newsletter, and this week I talked MISMO President David Coleman about standardization, eClosing, the kind of tech leaders we need now, and more. Here's part of that Q&A: Sarah Wheeler: In some ways, AI can be a black box. How do lenders prove to regulators and other people what the AI did? It could be a whole new can of worms. David Coleman: It totally is and I think there are a couple of things that come into play there. One is kind of creating your own sandbox for your AI to run. In other words, don’t use chatGPT and let it run across the Internet and share your intellectual property and use God knows what for a source for learning. You have to have control over that source for learning. "The other thing is that you need to have a way to start figuring out how to monitor your AI. I talked to someone today about: are we too late for AI risk management? The contention is that we are not. But he said there’s a set of questions that you need to set up for your AI that have reliable responses, that based upon the response, you know that you’re still controlling it and it’s not controlling you."

What's on the mind of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Rohit Chopra? He was my guest on today's HousingWire Daily podcast where I asked him about recent CFPB actions, how he balances consumer concerns with the lenders serving them, and what he's worried about. Some notes: 1. He mentioned middlemen and gatekeepers in the mortgage process several times. Who are those potential gatekeepers? Those adding fees to the process (think closing costs) but also tech companies — which surprised me. Which leads to the next two points. 2. On technology: "I think we heard a lot of concern around some of the big vendor and software technology mergers and consolidation... I think there is a growing power of a lot of these big technology providers, and that's not unique to mortgage...The big question is, who's really going to benefit from automation? Is it going to be broadly shared with consumers and lenders? Or is it just going to create a couple more gatekeepers who can levy a tax on every single mortgage in the country?" 3. He sees a lot of promise in open banking — giving consumers the right to permission their data, which gives them more power. These three points would prick my ears if I'm running a mortgage tech company. Link below. HousingWire #mortgage #mortgagetechnology

I got to be on the other side of the microphone for this one! Appreciate the opportunity Scot Rose!!
Episode 2 of Lending Edge Podcast launched yesterday! In this episode, I had an insightful conversation with Sarah Wheeler, Editor-in-Chief at HousingWire. It’s always a pleasure to speak with Sarah and it was fun to change the typical role and be the one to interview her. We discussed some of the biggest challenges in the housing market today, including rising mortgage rates, inventory shortages, and the Biden administration's responses to these issues. Our conversation also ventured into the transformative role of technology and the burgeoning influence of AI on the future of housing. These are critical topics that shape our industry and demand our attention and reflection. I invite you to listen and let me know your thoughts on these topics. If there's someone you'd like to hear from or if you'd like to join me for a future episode, let me know in the comments! 👇🏻 https://lnkd.in/g7zqU5qp

Great summary of the conversation I had with Logan Mohtashami! Delivered with James Kleimann's usual wit!!
Exclusive Mortgage & Real Estate News I Housing Market Analyst I Managing Editor at HousingWire
United Wholesale Mortgage's new zero-down mortgage program is a $15,000 "sword ⚔ of Damocles [that] could wind up stabbing you in the back," according to CNN Business. Well, that's certainly a fiery 🔥 take! Unfortunately, it's also a totally ridiculous take that argues we're time traveling back to 2008. ⌚ 🛅 ✨ (Don't threaten me with a good time — I had a full head of hair 💇♂️ back then!) Look, you don't have to like UWM — plenty in the industry don't — to see 👀 that this is a fear-mongering article crafted to generate clicks 👿 . My colleague Logan Mohtashami broke it down in today's episode of HWD. A couple of my own thoughts: 😨 It's totally fine to recognize the inherent risk in a zero-down mortgage. If a homeowner with little/no downpayment loses a job and has basically no equity, there is a possibility of foreclosure. But that would also be true for VA/USDA, FHA and even some Fannie/Freddie loans, no? 💳 The reality is credit standards & loan structures are radically different than 15 years ago. These UWM borrowers still have to qualify (credit score, DTI ratios, etc.) as a FTHB or make 80% < of AMI and also qualify for Freddie's Home Possible program. 🚞 ☑ Quick fact check: Nobody is giving poor people who don't qualify for mortgages loans they cannot pay. Those people are not buying houses! 👈 👉 There are thousands of downpayment assistance programs & special purpose credit programs nationwide. We've also seen similar programs from Guild, Rocket and loanDepot launch over the last year. Nothing I've seen in filings or conversations with LOs & underwriters suggests there's any cause for concern to date. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but it doesn't seem commensurate with the charged rhetoric in this article. 🏦 It's true that second-lien downpayment assistance is uncommon market-wide — a tiny percentage of borrowers with agency-eligible loans have a LTV greater than 97%. Reality is most lenders will not be doing big, multimillion dollar programs like the one UWM just launched. 🧗♀️ For UWM, the challenge isn't the zero down or the $15,000 second risk; it's in getting enough homebuyers who can compete in a brutal 👊 housing market & actually buy the house. I'm told thousands of people applied in the first week, FWIW. How many will actually own the house? TBD. 😫 📖 The boring story is this: We have default/foreclosure rates in the low single digits and a very well capitalized company looking to gain an edge on competitors by helping FTHB with their most vexing problem — the need for a fat downpayment to buy the freakin' house. There is risk, no doubt, but it's nothing like what CNN or out-of-touch academics say it is.

Last week I got to interview Christos Bettios, CIO at NFM Lending, about how his company is using AI. I think some of the internal use cases are pretty interesting: "We have our own GPT that links to all our data, and is proprietary, that privately and securely can hit the internet — not because you got an account, but I’m going directly through private, single sign-on from within my enterprise. But I also have allowed our company to have GPTs with specific company content, so we can have our own non-QM GPT, and a GPT that goes into our HR, and I can ask those GPTs a question. So, I’m giving our users proprietary, private GPT capability inside my enterprise on our SharePoint, to ask questions of our own code."
