This is a story about how you can directly help Main Street without bailing out Wall Street. The COVID-19 pandemic upended our daily lives and transformed the political landscape. The crisis was not only an unprecedented shock to our health care system but also an unprecedented threat to our economic well-being, including the mortgage and housing markets. While the primary focus of the federal response was appropriately on public health, a critical aspect of that response was the efforts to keep families in their homes. Despite the reforms following the 2008 financial crisis, our financial markets were not prepared. March 2020 brought another financial crisis, moderated by the responses of our financial regulators. Calls for bailouts rose again, but some were determined not to repeat the many mistakes of 2008. As director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which overseas Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, Mark Calabria was responsible for leading that response. In Shelter from the Storm, he tells the story of how millions of families were provided mortgage and rental assistance both to keep them safe and to keep our financial markets functioning. He offers readers a peek behind the curtain of government decisionmaking in a crisis and shows how the FHFA minimized housing disruptions at little to no cost to the taxpayer and resisted repeated calls for industry bailouts and subsidies.

The mortgage origination profession can be one of the most rewarding careers in the sales field. Generally income is commission-based and the earning potential is only limited by individual performance. As with most sales professionals, there is a wide range of performance and thus level of success and income varies greatly.

Many of our authors have been speakers at major national or regional mortgage and real estate conferences and seminars and many of them give back to the industry by providing coaching programs. The authors tell the stories of their individual paths to success and how they have overcome adversity and endured difficult market conditions. All of the authors have overcome obstacles along the way and they lay out the most common challenges facing new mortgage originators and loan offices in the current era after the financial meltdown and new regulatory environment. The authors opine on the keys to success in the mortgage industry and there are some common themes in the tips offered. Maintaining high ethical standards, building a business based on trust, having the proper mindset, and a focus on providing an exceptional level of customer service are echoed throughout the book as imperatives.

Provides a general mathematical framework for the analytical aspects of stochastic automata. Shows that under certain topological conditions, non-deterministic automata are generated, which in some cases are produced by stochastic automata.
