There Are Two Doors in Mortgages

And not the lady or the tiger

If a bank wants to significantly increase mortgage originations only 2 choices

Go down the yield curve or down the credit curve

The yield curve is simply: lower rates, beat competition but that means

2/
/2 less profit

But it's a flawless system

For 30 years since the development of commissioned mortgage sales forces; putting on a rate sale gets big results its just tricky explaining lower NIMs later

Down a credit curve doesn't mean accepting bad credit score clients

3/
/3 big banks don't accept impaired credit, it means more aggressive rental or business for self programs, maybe more liberal foreign buyer qualifications

Many ways to tweak those programs so its easier to qualify

And realtors have incredible abilities work those angles

4/
/ so when you read about a bank CEO saying there will be a better lead systems or new processes that will bring in more mortgages next quarter

Read between the lines

They just unlocked one of the 2 doors
