Jason Hartman is joined today by mortgage consultant and trainer, Jen Du Plessis. As a real estate investor, it’s great to gain insight on both sides of the mortgage business. Jason and Jen discuss GSE, QM and non-QM loans, as well as the great recession and where the pendulum has moved to now. This leads to a prediction of interest rates dropping even more.
