Pricing Strategy for Portfolio Mortgage Loans
Wednesday, January 25, 2023, at 1 pm central time
Session Description
As interest rates fluctuate, you might be thinking: “now’s the best time to portfolio,” or “I can’t sell; I’ll just portfolio,” or perhaps the classic “there’s a reason we have a portfolio.” Maybe all of these are true, and maybe they’re not. One thing is for certain, originating to portfolio comes with its own set of risks and things to consider. Join Peter Benjamin, CMB, President of ACUMA as he sits down with Russ Brady, CMB, owner of Blue Loans LLC, to answer your questions about portfolio pricing strategies.
