Episode 578
Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.
In this episode, Carl sits down with Owen Lee to tackle one of the biggest questions facing our industry right now: what happens if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac come out of conservatorship?
Owen breaks down the history of Fannie and Freddie, why they’ve remained under government control for nearly two decades, and the different paths being discussed to take them private again. You’ll hear the real pros and cons of merging them into one entity versus keeping them separate, and why the rules around this shift matter more than most loan officers realize.
Carl and Owen explain in plain terms what this means for you. If it’s handled well, business goes on as usual. If it’s not, mortgage rates could climb 50 to 100 basis points almost overnight, changing the landscape for borrowers and loan officers alike.
You’ll also hear why staying engaged in these industry conversations is critical, and how tools like the Mortgage Action Alliance can help us all be ready to act if needed. This one is about protecting our industry, our clients, and our future. Listen in and get the clarity you need on what’s coming next.
