SitusAMC launched a new Field Guide for mortgage industry participants looking to understand and navigate the federal landscape, according to the company.

The Field Guide to the Federal Government for Housing & Housing Finance provides an in-depth perspective on the key influencers in Washington, D.C. and their impact on the single-family and multifamily real estate industries, according to SitusAMC. It also contains insight on how Housing Finance in D.C. works and gives an overview of the process to best navigate it.

SitusAMC Head of Government and Industry Relations Tim Rood, who advises mortgage firms on how best to mitigate and manage the risks related to federal government impacted initiatives, said the new presidential administration is making real estate finance players reorient their businesses in fundamental ways.

The Field Guide describes the Capitol as "an avian ecosystem where 'birds of a feather flock together.' Federal agencies, congressional committees, advocacy organizations, media outlets and a wide variety of other influencers each play a unique role in affecting policy, and together hold massive sway over the industry."

SitusAMC has a history of providing consulting and advisory services to organizations in real estate as they seek to navigate D.C. and capitalize on opportunities in their businesses. The firm's consulting and services are complimented by a suite of solutions supporting the entire lifecycle of real estate finance activity including originations, secondary market activity, and loan servicing and asset management, among others.
