Episode 566
Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.
In this episode, your host, Carl White, is joined by Owen Lee to break down the FHFA’s recent announcement that lenders can now use the VantageScore 4.0 with Fannie and Freddie—no new infrastructure required.
Owen, who serves as Vice Chair of the MBA, unpacks what this change really means for loan officers and whether it’s a genuine effort to lower credit report costs or just a flashy move from the same credit bureaus that already control the game.
They dive into the skyrocketing cost of credit pulls, the oligarchy of the credit scoring world, and the practical challenges this update presents for pricing, mortgage insurance, and secondary market execution.
You’ll hear how VantageScore aims to help underserved borrowers—but also why it may not be the silver bullet it seems at first glance.
This episode is packed with insight, industry advocacy, and some straight talk about where credit reporting is headed and how it could impact your daily business.
