This coming Wednesday, November 9, the latest in the Five Star Institute Webinar Series, “Talking About Title: Behind the Transactions,” in partnership with Selene Title, will take place at 1:00 p.m. Central. The Five Star Institute Webinar Series aims to broaden the horizons of the mortgage industry, serving as a source for complimentary insights and education about critical industry topics led by subject-matter experts and company sponsors.
When it comes to the topic of title, attention to detail and engagement with the right partners can both streamline originations and help prevent problems later in the life of the loan. How does title facilitate risk reduction? Why is title critical in the arena of single-family rental, build-for-rent, and bulk transactions? What are the possible implications on the default side when proper due diligence isn’t done upfront? Join Five Star for the latest installment of its Webinar Series, presented by Selene Title, as we share conversation and insights with a panel of speakers including Kevin Beach, EVP of Selene Title; Jeff Cline, CEO of SVN|SFR Capital Management; Deborah Ordille, COO of RCN Capital; and Felicia Watson, Corporate Counsel for Elite Commercial Closings.
