Mortgage originations are accelerating to a digitized landscape, driven by technology's promise of speed and efficiency. But even with the remarkable growth of the wholesale channel and the rise of independent loan originator, too many LOs are still wrestling with fragmented tech stacks and spiraling costs.
It's time for the dawn of a new era in loan origination technology, designed to fuel future originators and make them TICK, bringing together Technology, Independence, Collaboration, and Knowledge. Picture a future where the origination technology platform is boundary-less and intuitive; it empowers independence and effortlessly morphs into dynamic engagement hubs, fostering deeper relationships with lenders, service providers, clients and referral partners. Open community-driven development models will spark the evolution of these intelligent and customizable platforms, reshaping the mortgage lending landscape and amplifying the power of originators. Using the experiences in building ARIVE, which in a brief span of just over two years has become a formidable loan origination system supporting over 17,000 independent loan originators and processors, attendees will get actionable insights into these shifts and explore how they can not only adapt but excel in this rapidly changing technological landscape.

The mortgage market is going through a transition making business growth challenging for 2023. Agency business is shrinking, refinance volume has declined, and rates are still high. What can help replace the lost business? Non-QM.
Non-QM provides you additional financing for underserved markets, options your competitors may not offer, and allows you to retain loans that you normally would not make. Let us demonstrate the benefits of adding non-QM options to your product mix.
Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions presentation, will cover:
Are you prepared for one of the fastest growing origination opportunities? Loan origination activities for 2023 continue to reflect the fastest growing homeowner demographic, as 10,000 or more Americans reach age 62, needing specific retirement planning and resource tools as components to a financial longevity strategy. Today’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage will be one of those important components for many. Are you prepared to address the lending needs of older Americans with loan programs, product education, staffing and a marketing plan? Do you need to fast track this demographic to increase your potential growth and marketshare objectives? Let’s expedite the discussion.

Everyone in the mortgage industry is wondering: what will the rise of Artificial Intelligence mean? There's no need to guess, since there's already one company that's been running on AI-powered systems since 2018. Sun West Mortgage's sister company, Celligence, created an AI underwriting and processing platform that Sun West has been using to power its company for the past five years. Underwriting is now measured in minutes, and processing tasks are primarily automated. This has allowed Sun West to make better loan decisions, expand credit to more communities, and free originators to spend more time building business rather than babysitting files. In the past year, Sun West has opened its system -- called Angel AI -- to the origination community at large, and backs loan decisions made by its system "100%" -- meaning that if an originator gets a green light from Angel AI, Sun West will commit to closing the loan, period. Don't miss this incredible session looking inside a large mortgage lender running its operations fully on artificial intelligence. The future is already here. So now the question is: what's next?
With the consumer mortgage industry continuing to experience declining volume and rising rates, brokers and originators may be wondering how they can grow their businesses in 2023. Now is the time to diversify product offerings and learn how to thrive by leveraging loan programs for real estate investors like fix and flip and DSCR loans.
In this session presented by RCN Capital, you will learn:
