What are you keeping an eye on?

As we close out 2021 and get closer to leaping into 2022, it's inevitable to think about what's ahead.

Good afternoon! Was this newsletter forwarded to you? Sign up here. LOs,   As we close out 2021 and get closer to leaping into 2022, it's inevitable to think about what's ahead.    And so, I reached out to a few of your LO colleagues to get a gist of what topics/ trends they are keeping an eye on in the year to come.    Here are some topics that LOs shared with me:   -Regulatory enforcement from the CFPB, specifically around LO Compensation Rules to amplify in the year to come -Emergence of new tech that will make origination easier both for lenders and borrowers -The cost of NMLS licensing continuing to increase in 2022 (one LO noted that the cost to renew a license jumped by almost 20% from 2020 to 2021) -More non-QM products in the pipeline -Renewed focus on programs that will help first-time homebuyers

LOs, what other topics will be relevant in 2022? What will you be keeping an eye on in the new year?
