Government shutdowns are in place, and these could impact the mortgage industry. In today’s Mortgage Monday, Christian and David talk about how government shutdowns could potentially slow down loan approvals, and which loans specifically are most likely to be affected. They also talk about how this may lead to downward pressure on rates as investor money flows to the safety of mortgage-backed securities. The show ends with a hilarious analogy of being friend zoned in business and a declaration of David’s love for each and every listener, as well as how to contact him directly. Download today!
