A Deep Dive Into Private Lender Data: Historical and Current

Due to high demand, we bring back this session for Innovate this year. Private lenders are often forced to make assumptions of the private lending market by looking at national consumer mortgage loan data, securitization tapes, and relying on their loan purchasers to determine what is the market rate. This data packed panel will provide unique market intel specific to private lending. Bring your notepads to this panel to get precise, up to date data on the private lending industry in which we will cover geographic trends, volumes, current market rates and macro headwinds and tailwinds.
