Launching Mortgage Compliance Magazine was a brilliant move by Slayton (publisher) with impeccable timing. "There are things we know about the changes CFPB is bringing to mortgage servicing, but there are probably more things we don't know – which will keep the discussions lively in Mortgage Compliance Magazine for at least the next several years," writes Steven Horne, CEO and President of Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, in his article, "QM and CFPB Implications for Servicers," published in the March 2014 Mortgage Compliance Magazine.
