Despite the increased exposure to content and online resources, consumer understanding of what it actually takes to qualify for a mortgage is not improving. This provides an important opportunity for lenders, including us, to make efforts to bridge that knowledge gap. In order to help provide consumers with such knowledge, we sought a more effective way to utilize modern technology.

CHARLOTTE, NC - This week we witnessed the 10-year Treasury yield reach 3% for the first time since January 2014, and it’s expected to rise even higher. This shift is likely because the Fed is expected to hike interest rates again in the near future. And with the economic growth the nation is experiencing comes debt that’s necessary to finance it and more inflation. If the 10-year Treasury yield continues to rise, it could affect business and consumer loans—including the possibility of an increase in mortgage interest rates.
