And I think you're going to see some very exciting things come out of Davos with regard to the president on housing in a week.
Obviously, I would never talk about anything that the president and I talk about.

We are focused on bringing down not only the mortgage rates, but also the day to day cost in upkeeping homes, which has to do with
You know, whether it be your ongoing expenses, mortgage insurance, etc.

The average Americans haven't understood that presidents had this authority until President Trump found this authority, which is basically to utilize these companies to be companies.
