We have a very special guest on today's program: Dr. Doug Duncan, Senior VP and Chief Economist of Fannie Mae. Dr. Duncan is responsible for providing all forecasts and analyses on the economy, housing, and mortgage markets for Fannie Mae. Doug also oversees corporate strategy and is responsible for strategic research regarding external factors and their potential impact on the company and the housing industry.

On today's program, we'll get to pick Dr. Duncan's brain on his history with Fannie Mae, housing, interest rates, future of the economy, and much more. A few of the questions we ask:

  • Is Fannie Mae going to loosen money for investors and raise the number of loans ceiling?
  • Is our real estate market close to topping out for this cycle?
  • Are we more likely headed for deflation, inflation, or stagnation? What are the cases for each? What is the timeframe?
  • If we raise interest rates, how much will we shoot ourselves in the foot because we won’t be able to afford to pay our own debt service and default?
Don't miss this very informative program! We dive deep into the state of our current economy and what lies ahead.
