The question was on the minds of many at the Waldorf Astoria in Dana Point, California on Thursday – will non-qualified mortgage products become more commoditized as the rising rate environment wallops agency lending?
“The way that we like to look at solving that problem is through a click of a button, distributing the loan at an even price to sell that to a cadre of investors,” Al Qureshi, managing partner at Blue Water Financial Technologies, said on Thursday during IMN‘s third annual Non-QM Forum in California. Blue Water Financial Technologies is a provider of asset valuation, mortgage servicing rights (MSR) distribution, MSR hedging and electronic solutions to mortgage lenders.
Qureshi added: “For an originator to do all these things right now there are a number of fixed costs. Investors will have to figure out what the pricing eligibility requirements are, you’ll have to bend backwards to integrate that into your pipeline. That takes a lot of time. The way forward is streamlining the process all the way through.”
