Angel Oak’s Tom Hutchens and Manish Valecha on non-QM lending

This week, Tom Hutchens, the executive vice president of production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions, and Manish Valecha, the head of client solutions at Angel Oak Capital Advisors, join the Housing News Podcast for its season finale.

Additionally, the pair discuss the two newly announced proposed rule-making notices from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on the QM Patch, and what those changes could mean for the industry at large.
