On this episode, Eric Forney talks to HousingWire's Economic Director Logan Mohtashami.   Logan breaks down how demographics, supply and credit risk have created the savagely unhealthy market we are in right now.  He discusses how "forbearance bros" are lacking key information about credit risk that cause them to interpret data incorrectly, and shares his thoughts on how credit actually functions.  He explains his six recession red flags, how most of them are occurring right now, and what he predicts that means for the future.    He also busts myths on millennials' home buying behavior, the prediction that Americans were all about to sell their homes without buying new ones, and the comparison of the current market to the 2008 market.

Join special guest Clayton Collins, CEO of HousingWire, and host Adam O'Daniel for a live discussion on the state of mortgage industry media, marketing and HW's efforts to expand its reach and audience. This is the fourth and final episode of our broadcasts from the lobby of the HW Enagage.Marketing Conference in Charlotte, N.C.

Host Adam O'Daniel interviews Total Expert CEO Joe Welu on the future of Total Expert's Marketing Operating System. Adam and Joe are joined by Movement Mortgage's digital marketing team, Mel Marsh and Jordan Schexnayder.

HousingWire's Jacob Gaffney visited with Movement Mortgage CEO Casey Crawford minutes after announcing his company's Jan. 9, 2019, acquisition of Eagle Home Mortgage's retail operations. Movement announced the move as part of a presentation to Eagle's combined Bellevue, WA, offices just outside of Seattle. Gaffney and Crawford discussed the transaction, the "why" behind it for Movement and the overall outlook of M&A in 2019.

Millennials aren't buying homes! Millennials prefer to rent! Millennials only want to live in the city! We've all heard conflicting info about the millennial generation in regards to whether or not they even want to buy homes. It's getting hard to know what to believe. But as the single largest demographic of potential home buyers out there, we should probably get to the bottom of what is important to them, and learn how to speak their language. As you know because you listen to this show, we have to know how to speak to our audience in a way that resonates with them to get their attention. So how do we do that with millennials?

This week we brought in Jacob Gaffney, the Editor-In-Chief of HousingWire, to find out what the truth is about millennial homebuyers. HousingWire is a well respected, highly reputable source of real estate industry news. One of the biggest reasons why is because of Jacob Gaffney and his leadership. They research and investigate each story so deeply, and are so well rounded in their coverage, that I could think of no one better to educate us on millennial home buyers than Jacob Gaffney.
