The National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association<\/a><\/strong> (NRMLA), the reverse mortgage industry\u2019s leading trade association, is preparing to host its 2024 Annual Meeting and Expo on Sept. 24-26 in San Diego<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The event is typically the largest, most expansive meeting for a wide variety of reverse mortgage professionals. It also typically features federal housing officials to offer updates on the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM<\/a>) program.<\/p>\n

To learn more about this year\u2019s programming and what is on deck for the event at the Hard Rock Hotel, HousingWire<\/strong>\u2019s Reverse Mortgage Daily (RMD) sat down with NRMLA President Steve Irwin.<\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s note: <\/em><\/strong>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.<\/em><\/p>\n

Chris Clow\/HousingWire: What can you tell me about the approach to planning this year? You\u2019re going with a West Coast location, whereas recent years have had more centrally placed events within the continental U.S. <\/h4>\n

Steve Irwin: We had to move the event due to certain calendar conflicts and scheduling issues, which also required us to look at an earlier time of year. We try and mix it up as much as possible, and we were more centrally located in the country last year. This year, our team visited the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, and the weather in late September is typically really favorable, which is ideal for networking and getting people together.<\/p>\n

We took into account where our members are, our calendar, the weather and what else is happening around this time. Ultimately, we landed on San Diego, and we\u2019re really excited about it. So far, we have just over 350 registrants from 134 companies. Logistically, it seems like people aren\u2019t having trouble getting there, and we\u2019re looking forward to a strong few days in California<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Clow: When it comes to planning, is there a particular theme or topic you felt was important for the programming to address this year to provide value for attendees?<\/h4>\n

Irwin: With two and a half days to explore and discuss various topics, it became clear through our discussions with members and leadership that HECM for Purchase<\/a> was a key area we wanted to revisit and dive deeper into. Many of our members have been finding success with HECM for Purchase, and we\u2019ll also look at changes in rules and regulations \u2014 how do those changes impact the purchase landscape, and what attendees can take away in terms of insights and tips.<\/p>\n

Clow: What other topics would you say have importance for members?<\/h4>\n

Irwin: Another area of focus has been the appraisal<\/a> process. We\u2019ve heard from our members about the need for better understanding in this area, so I\u2019m looking forward to that discussion with appraisal management companies.<\/p>\n

Additionally, loan officers have lots of questions about processing, underwriting<\/a>, operations and servicing<\/a>, which is a continual theme. We\u2019ve decided to have an open dialogue, highlighting the most frequently asked questions to better educate originators on what happens once an application is handed off.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got a full agenda covering the entire ecosystem of reverse mortgage lending, but I really want to highlight the HECM for Purchase and underwriting operations sessions.<\/p>\n
