Accolend Newman spent 20 years investing in residential mortgages having bought and sold many thousands of loans without ever seeing a closing package or meeting a borrower. After working on Wall Street trading desks and managing private equity portfolios of loans, bonds and mortgage companies, Newman is happy to have given up the (not so) glamourous lifestyle for days, nights and weekends in the trenches continually trying to make the process more efficient for our borrowers.
