Built To Scale

This month, Katie Jensen examines the mortgage industry's M&A surge in "The Offense Mindset," where lenders are racing to vertically integrate — acquiring real estate portals, proprietary tech, and agent networks — before the next rate cycle rewards those who built and punishes those who waited. As STRATMOR Group's Garth Graham notes, today's deal market is defined less by distress and more by positioning. Plus, TurboTenant CEO Seamus Nally unpacks Trump's executive order taking aim at Wall Street's grip on single-family housing and asks whether it has any real teeth.
