Government shutdowns are in place, and these could impact the mortgage industry. In today’s Mortgage Monday, Christian and David talk about how government shutdowns could potentially slow down loan approvals, and which loans specifically are most likely to be affected. They also talk about how this may lead to downward pressure on rates as investor money flows to the safety of mortgage-backed securities. The show ends with a hilarious analogy of being friend zoned in business and a declaration of David’s love for each and every listener, as well as how to contact him directly. Download today!

In today’s episode Cloe shares her incredible story of moving from China to the US with nothing but $2,000 and a crush on the man she loved. A few years later and she had received an accounting degree and traded it in for being a real estate agent on her way to becoming a top producer in the CA Bay Area’s highly competitive market.
