Scott NormanGUEST
Well, as you know, Texas is the number one FHA lending state in the country, and it has been in a while.

Scott NormanGUEST
We think that the first-time homebuyers are really kind of the bedrock, if you will, of the mortgage market because that's going to be the first of three, four, five homes they're going to buy over a lifetime.

Scott NormanGUEST
Clearly, affordability is going to be an issue here because we know that the first-time homebuyers, the second-time homebuyers do bump into affordability issues more so than somebody that's going to be in their 50s or 60s that may be a little bit more established.

Scott NormanGUEST
If it's in the scenario of cash reserves, just overall experience, the ability to understand what it takes to actually own a home from a payment of taxes and insurance and general upkeep.

Jonathan ScarpatiGUEST
And here's where reverse mortgages kind of help to pick up and really help serve these customers as they enter into retirement.

Scott NormanGUEST
Can I just add one little comment? Because I think that sometimes people get lost in the shuffle of what a reverse mortgage is.

Scott NormanGUEST
There are about four different borrowers that go from the borrowers who are extremely wealthy, have a lot of assets, and they're looking at a reverse mortgage from a perspective of maintaining their assets and building them.

Scott NormanGUEST
They've hurt a hip all the way down to the borrowers that really need the home equity to maintain their lifestyle.
