MBA: Mortgage Lending Going back to the "1950s and 60s"

by Calculated Risk on 10/16/2007 04:02:00 PM

Quote of the day from the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) new Chairman Kieran Quinn (no link):

"We're going back to lending the way it was in the 1950s and 60s. Mortgages will be made mostly by bankers and their employees, and compensation will be based on who's making good loans and who's not."
Securitization is here to stay; Quinn is saying third party origination is mostly going away.
