What’s ahead for mortgage insurance and the lenders who rely on this important mortgage finance tool? With interest rates rising, a new Administration in place and many changes underway, the MI industry is also undergoing a major restructuring that will impact the housing industry for years to come. For April 17’s “Hot Topic” segment, I’m joined by David Gansberg, President and CEO of Arch MI, which is now the industry leader in the wake of its parent’s acquisition of United Guaranty. David will be talking about the acquisition and its ramifications, as well as sharing his insights on the 2017 mortgage market, the effect of potential deregulation, the crisis in affordability and the automation revolution.

As normal, the first half of the program will feature, Joe Farr of MBSQuoteline providing a rate & market update, Alice Alvey of Indecomm Global Services providing a regulatory & legislative update as well as Paul Muolo of IMF News & Sam Garcia of Mortgage Daily giving us a quick overview of the latest news stories impacting our industry and Andy Schell, a/k/a "Profit Doctor" sharing ideas on how to improve your bottom line.

Please tell others about this program and take a minute to share a link to this program with your friends and associates in the mortgage industry.

Thank you, David Lykken
