Five Key Takeaways From the 2015 Five Star Government Forum: 1 According to Gebre, the No. 1 issue facing the FHA is getting enough funding from Congress. 2 Neugebauer declared in his keynote address: "Too big to fail has made it too small to succeed." 3 "Demand weakness trumps credit tightness," according to Duncan. While many analysts have blamed tight lending standards for holding back homeownership, Duncan asserted that a lack of demand has done more to hold back housing recovery. 4 Kiefer said through Twitter that a consistent theme for the Government Forum was "housing markets should improve but households need real income growth." 5 "The key to cracking the compliance code is understanding the reason behind the regulation," according to Michael Waldron, chief compliance officer with Bayview Loan Servicing.
