The next question comes from Stephen ahead. Laws of go Raymond James. Please

can The to volumes steps Hi. related much achieve on that to so wanted much expenses. to Good outlook of reductions far? to variable How And where to the follow-up you decline in headcount that originations? Kevin’s think formal that loan the the about talk synergies with have overcapacity, are compensation sector the was guys see decline tied I of question about how or we of can about of what sequential you decline, is there morning. the you the able today? are across we expect kind kind as from take should here, more for industry other mortgage been

volumes needed there year, I because or if year, $XX-ish and did because sat mortgage billion so up – hiring we home business, And people billion Why and going The of folks to take from we money we be we don’t folks because originate we mortgages. a have of realized Nick I when origination will Baron don’t refer as on do we on XXX to at and of most our would to can look to remote at month want process last about we This will we what quote then just to Yes. reduce we look we your thought make volumes. perspective, it’s the back keep far. $XXX with loans, profitability. more part – costs, and last XXXX, origination. you something, were question, If a number to I the a those

think going it in people on Housing I people to whether is they capacity you So, headcount. try snippet, would just or system. up another folks It’s their Wire too go. day, headcount, itself read smaller. to are is other are of the compete don’t reduce for to much the substantiate you for, units to those bridge are going make And what that going see or to letting be for get every to industry some that that do There

to is As a there be made is no unit. There going to result, per very money. little be money

So, with we the the effort approach our lot mention probably mentioned – we prior sure, two, She on and call, we One we headcount, a experience. from Kainth is leading digital our Cooper reduce taken one, thing didn’t has who think in I Neenu worked synergies. before to have of marketing we there. a She making hired side.

Head drive we folks technology, two either groups. coupled about of those pumped we our or when saves So, our about Lack, ability reduce think Neenu costs Dino with those in pretty Technology, to are in

synergies you to So, your of got get business. out

smaller more but the You headcount got going to you create industry. see efficiency, get are to across

to We current our those business cuts. but significant forward. the move have environment made need be and don’t We get we to want just for folks, right-sized

guys as we to are? take kind as maybe that then sales of and – want far where you So

Yes.

call I did million, Michael run at it we synergies. what were as $XXX So, where about talk rate

You rate down quarter-over-quarter. obviously $XX run see even a perspective rate our in from is our origination million overall expense business,

respect continue With to we I year. with would see and versus just discussion what as will call the are to forecast headed is our to fixed rest on of where continue We for what we call have that having variable, to can drop we I number expect that. the out – recommend a originations a think the follow-up

that. Look to Excellent. forward

SFR loan As transitional and and going pricing to SFR grow at volatile availability environment, a first talk continue you looked loans? markets in did you second market like as question, you first Obviously, there spread the your reception look and resi rate transitional about securitization. forward the your you Can those for residential it how securitization, those?

Yes.

for assets. really are is that’s of think we north fully of the up, want I our business, great. our once rate sure advance ROE was you capital are a to look securitization make important, is leased that on reception that assets one one XX% those The the at The truly – markets a pool shutdown. Stephen, thing that we we to assume when creates

think our when to in buttoned our business we we up million about the extremely today. called, do way all there how is when and if the sheet. loans, at look protect balance our So, And that that’s financing want I we volatility, that’s that think capital quarter, in $XX we running that ensure the volatility why first saw of no is we we markets, are we that

this the We quarter into standpoint, more But we have just either we right units. now, X,XXX are is, overall the we unit probably as late probably another – – quarter, securitization in acquire are be roughly clear an will units. third from to

in to business adding equity grow very, we are small. are We resources, small are folks capacity. some total adding is some that. with in we about amount talks looking of operating But the The really very today.

will have we in would a as need good big growth us industry, We we cap this bit. to with for be little up the relationships think go do very affordability housing decreasing, a that and to forward. area We some like rates go –

our points, we we entry go be going are think way as a So, good to in very forward.

Trevor, it all comes back returns. to

so. way we get what to at X% going come – them don’t can a could different we You X.X to that’s going to. and know think down because we buy mid-teens could it’s gross really returns, a returns we in I right deploy in think capital we a that mid-teens are it’s But buy WAC the I think same MSR if at multiple, we think levels

the things unit? that allocation security is loaded Can macro when we on add basis, saying, then on does our for sell one environment this of produce And broader the the going about we it We excess the a “Okay, where environment for the XX%-plus capital, any going returns. again, every levered need it full. unit that’s example, the we think AAA don’t MSRs yield? grow example, estate universe, how to are think between if going portfolio, MSR down what’s grow comes that, And the a we is that just we Will it to we We originate generate or Charles is answer value our “Okay, – investment origination $XXX think off, to is back can organically how at say, that business. yes. got yes on will XX?” we, there, If going Sorrentino depends deploying we And can consumer the add look billion to to we to it does in day we breakeven forward?” real compare the goes capital that at can more. be at to do is the be but we and through to, we an looking all and on that commercial side [ph] NRZ may we fully compare thing, side how operating there business So, him or think outsized that is in macro
