Today’s article is from Investopedia: “Will Trump’s newest housing official make big changes to the mortgage market?” Bill’s priorities include fraud/abuse, and housing initiatives that will hopefully make homes more affordable. For instance, taking Fannie and Freddie out of government conservatorship. Hopefully, privatization will make these companies more streamlined and less expensive. However, the flip side is if private companies make it more expensive. Listen in as we discuss this and more!
