In today’s episode, we go through the UWM and Two Harbors merger. Plus, Robbie sits down with Wilqo's Larry Huff for a discussion on how lenders identify and address hidden workflow friction in origination, optimizing handoffs and automation, preserving human judgment at high-leverage points, and revealing the weakest points in their stack under stress. And we close by looking at how prepayment speeds are shifting with the backup in mortgage rates.
