This week, HousingWire's Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler interviews Lindsey Johnson, the president of USMI, a private mortgage insurance association, comprised of five of the six mortgage insurance companies in the United States. 

In this episode, Johnson explains the unique challenges currently facing mortgage insurers, four principles the company considers essential to housing policy reform, and whether or not Biden’s proposed first-time homebuyer tax credit could change the need for private mortgage insurance.

The Housing News podcast explores the most important topics happening in mortgage, real estate, and fintech. Each week a new mortgage or real estate executive joins the show to add perspective to the top stories crossing HousingWire’s news desk. Hosted by Sarah Wheeler and produced by Alcynna Lloyd.
