Inside Reverse Mortgages: From Local Markets to National Portfolio Management with Christian Etienne
Enjoy this unique conversation with Christian Etienne, a seasoned expert in the real estate and reverse mortgage world. Recognized as an industry expert, Christian and his teams have managed and liquidated more than 80,000 real estate assets nationwide for a variety of GSEs, large banking institutions, and private equity portfolios.
From his early days in South Louisiana to his current life in the Houston suburbs, Christian's career trajectory - from title insurance to mastering the nuances of reverse mortgages - offers a rare glimpse into the challenges and responsibilities in this niche industry.
We examine the changing landscape of the mortgage and real estate markets post-Global Financial Crisis and the pressures it faces today. Rising taxes, insurance costs, and the specter of mortgage defaults in hurricane-prone areas signal potential mortgage defaults, while the commercial real estate sector grapples with its own set of challenges amidst new retail developments and the persistent issue of vacant office spaces, all compounded by rising interest rates.
This episode serves as a comprehensive guide for investors and asset managers, highlighting the strategic decisions necessary amidst these market fluctuations and the anticipation of future adjustments.
