I think about how I can build, maintain, and leverage meaningful rela- tionships to accomplish our goals. Q: In the current market, what do you see as possible market corrections to amend the affordability crisis? The affordability crisis can only be solved with supply. We need supply of capital to home builders and rehabbers to deliver product to the market. We also need lower rates to unlock the people who don't want to sell because they are "stuck" with 3% interest on their mortgage. Unfortunately, I don't see this correcting itself quickly. Q: What suggestions do you have for renters who are on the outside of the home buying market looking in? Buying a home should first be a life- style decision directed by your personal financial situation. It is not primarily an investment. It turns into an investment over the long run due to steady appre- ciation and amortizing your mortgage. The best time to buy a home is when you are ready, not when you think it's a "good deal." Q: Do you see a shift ahead in the housing marketplace with the change in the White House? You need more than the President to produce legislation, and it seems like each party will not give the other an inch for the good of the people. The housing market will normalize despite politics. Q: What tools do you feel someone in the mortgage finance space needs today in or- der to survive and thrive in today's marketplace? The best way to differentiate your- self from the competition is by building trusting relationships with your clients. This will result in satisfied repeat clients and earn a sense of pride that you can build moment with. Q: What advice would you give to anyone looking to break into the mortgage finance industry today? Do not chase shiny objects. I see a lot of people bounce around looking for the next best thing. Find a place that aligns with your values and culture and work hard.
