Introducing MortgagePoint

The Synergy of DS News and MReport

In a transformative era where information is king and mortgage industry dynamics constantly evolve, we at the Five Star Institute have listened to our audience’s needs for comprehensive, timely, and accessible information.
Building on the robust legacies of DS News and MReport, we are thrilled to introduce MortgagePoint—a single, unified platform that brings together the best of both worlds.

Our Story

Two decades ago, in Dallas, Texas, a dream was born to empower operational leaders within the mortgage industry. This vision became the Five Star Institute (FSI) in 2003.
Over the years, FSI expanded its brand by launching REO Magazine, DS News, MReport, and more.

Today, we’re beginning an exciting new chapter with the launch of MortgagePoint, which promises to revolutionize content accessibility for mortgage professionals by providing a single space for everything they need.

Uniting Mortgage Frontiers

Why the Fusion of DS News and MReport Is Revolutionary

DS News has been the industry’s touchstone for nearly two decades for navigating the complex terrain of default mortgage servicing, particularly during economic turmoil such as the 2008 financial crisis.

On the other hand, MReport has provided an invaluable lens on mortgage origination, offering nuanced insights into the genesis of home loans and the changing nature of the American homebuyer.

However, as our industry grows in complexity, so does the interdependency between its various facets. The artificial silos between loan origination and default servicing, once thought to be separate entities, have proven to be intricately connected. Economic factors influencing originations and refi volumes now directly and immediately affect foreclosure rates and vice versa.
MortgagePoint's Revolutionary Approach

Meeting Industry Needs with MortgagePoint

Drawing upon extensive dialogues with our readers, clients, and industry partners, we found a resounding call for a unified platform to serve the entire ecosystem. MortgagePoint is our answer to that call-a comprehensive resource that continues the respected journalistic traditions of DSNews and MReport, and enhances them. 

By combining these trusted sources, we remove the need for professionals to toggle between multiple outlets to get a complete picture of the industry.

Integrated Excellence

The MortgagePoint Advantage

This synergy allows MortgagePoint to offer a 360-degree view of the mortgage landscape, enriched by multimedia features such as podcasts, webinar interviews with industry thought leaders, and standard print and digital magazines.

As a unified publication and platform, MortgagePoint transcends the limitations of its predecessors by offering seamless content navigation, advanced search capabilities, and the ability to facilitate the rapid acquisition of necessary information. 

This streamlined approach ensures that whether you are an operational leader, asset manager, or a fintech expert, you have a one-stop solution to stay impeccably informed and primed for decision-making.

Honoring Our Legacy, Forging Our Future

In line with the values and objectives that have defined DS News and MReport, MortgagePoint will continue to honor those who make homeownership a reality in America.

But more than that, MortgagePoint aspires to be a vibrant hub that fosters connections, facilitates collaborations, and engenders meaningful conversations amongst industry experts. It is not just an evolution but a revolution in how we consume, interpret, and utilize information in the mortgage industry.
