Dear Colleague,

After the turbulent events of 2008 you already know that servicing currently is the most important segment of the mortgage industry. Foreclosures, loan mods, REO, loss mit—all of these functions became the frontline battlegrounds for lenders trying to pick their way through the financial minefield of 2008.

What will 2009 bring? And at first glance it looks like: more of the same. More delinquencies, more foreclosures (millions more, possibly), more REO: and more need for the expertise you bring to the table to avoid or pare down losses on troubled mortgages.

That’s why it is so essential that you remain up-to-date on everything that is going to come at you fast and furious this year. Will there be a national foreclosure moratorium? Will judges get the power to “cram down” mortgage balances? Which types of loan modifications will work, and which will lead to an instant re-default?

The best source for the very latest information and data on servicing continues to be Mortgage Servicing News, National Mortgage News, and Managing REO. That's why I'm excited to chair our Third Annual Mortgage Servicing Conference, on April 6 -7 at the Marriot Dallas / Fort Worth Solana in Westlake, Texas.

Pre-register today and hear industry experts discuss all of the servicing hot-button issues and also analyze the new Administration’s efforts to resolve the housing crisis.

Reserve your seat now and you'll receive our discounted rates to attend. In today’s rapidly changing marketplace, you can’t afford to miss this valuable opportunity.

We look forward to seeing you on April 6-7 in Westlake, Texas.

Sincerely,

Mark Fogarty
Conference Chairman
Group Editorial Director, National Mortgage News
