Housing data analyst Logan Mohtashami talks forbearance, mortgage rates and foreclosures

This week, AMC Lending Group’s Senior Loan Manager, Logan Mohtashami joins the Housing News Podcast for episode eight to talk about the housing market’s rebound.

In this episode, the HousingWire columnist and housing data analyst dives deeper into his recent article, “The Housing Industry isn’t as doomed as it may seem…” which discusses the housing market’s potential rebound following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mohtashami also shares his perspective on what he thinks will be the biggest issues facing the housing industry in the virus’ wake.

According to Mohtashami, the housing industry needs to prepare for an uptick in home foreclosures and rapid home price growth due to a lack of housing inventory.
