Task Force for a Future Secondary Mortgage Market Formed by the MBA

---

This past week the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) announced the creation of the Task Force for a Future Secondary Mortgage Market.

This Task Force was created with the objective of developing a proposal that will address the future of the Secondary Mortgage Market, and in particular, an end-state model that can also fulfill an affordable housing-duty to serve mission. The Task Force anticipates completing this proposal by the end of the year.

The members of this Task Force are made up of individuals from MBA member companies representing a broad cross-section of the residential and multifamily real estate finance industries, including entities of varying sizes and business models.  The Task Force will be chaired by Rodrigo Lopez, CMB, Executive Chairman of NorthMarq Capital Finance and Chairman-Elect of MBA.

"A strong, sound secondary mortgage market is paramount to the overall success of the real estate finance industry. That is why it is of the utmost importance that policymakers and stakeholders create a strong and stable system that ensures liquidity, affordable mortgage credit and serves consumers," said Lopez.
