This all depends on 1) your input costs versus 2) your projected revenue for the 6 months.

It is lost on them.One thing is for sure, any lender who can lend with their own capital versus using a warehouse line is going to give borrowers a much more pleasant experience.  

The core market (hole of the donut) is booming and lots of young people moving to the city center and new apartments, condos, restaurants, amenities etc.Alot of the sun-belt is experiencing alot of net-migration...versus at least some cities in the Northeast not so much. 

I like how you point out the "technical" elements at play by mentioning the demand for MBS versus treasuries.
