Introducing MortgagePoint: The Hub of Mortgage Industry Knowledge

January 17, 2024

The Evolution Of Mortgage Industry Reporting

In the ever-evolving landscape of the mortgage industry, the need for comprehensive, timely, and accessible information has never been more critical. Recognizing this need, the Five Star Institute, with its long-standing commitment to empowering operational leaders within the mortgage industry, is thrilled to introduce MortgagePoint.

Born out of the merger between DS News and MReport, MortgagePoint is a new platform that will transform how we report on the mortgage industry.”Both DS News and MReport have left indelible marks on the industry. DS News, born amidst the turmoil of the 2008 financial crisis, became the industry’s touchstone for navigating the complex terrain of default mortgage servicing. On the other hand, MReport offered nuanced insights into the genesis of home loans and the changing nature of the American homebuyer.

A Unified Platform for Mortgage Professionals

However, as the industry grew in complexity, the interdependencies between its various facets became increasingly apparent. Economic factors influencing originations and refi volumes now directly affect foreclosure rates and vice versa. MortgagePoint is our response to this evolving landscape—a single, unified platform that brings together the best of both worlds. Combining these trusted sources removes the need for professionals to juggle multiple outlets to get a complete picture of the industry. With MortgagePoint, mortgage professionals can now access all the information they need in one convenient location.

"We are dedicated to keeping you informed with the most recent news, providing a platform for professionals to engage in meaningful conversations, and promoting the exchange of valuable knowledge"

Jonathan Hughes, CEO, Five Star Institute
