Originators Get Bullish on Growth, Despite Market Gloom and Doom 

(udpate 1: corrected reference to Residential Finance) Let’s face it: being a originator means having a different mind set. Especially in times like these, where the number of troubled borrowers is on the rise, underwriting guidelines are ever tightening, and origination volumes are on the wane.

Others have been rushing in to fill a void in wholesale lending, as well.
