Unfortunately, Know More Media, the network that hosts (and owns) the Lending Leaves blog is discontinuing its business. While I could continue writing this blog, I feel that it is time to pursue other opportunities. I have enjoyed writing about mortgage financing, and about mortgage industry news.

My best to my readers, and I hope to see you around the blogosphere.
