Posted on October 16, 2025

AHFA is the lead sponsor of an upcoming event for the Mortgage Bankers Association of Alabama, featuring the newest member of AHFA’s Business Development Team, Karlin Aultman. Three key speakers will focus on some of the most pressing topics in today’s housing and mortgage industry.

Connor Hogan of Country Financial will tackle the trends driving rising insurance premiums, market capacity challenges, and what lenders and homeowners should anticipate in the coming year. This is vital information in understanding today’s homeowners insurance market.

Another important topic to be discussed is the new VantageScore Model and what lenders will need to know moving forward. Zakk Stringer of CIC Credit will lead this discussion and teach how the latest model changes credit scoring, impacts underwriting, and improves borrower access to mortgage credit.

Karlin Aultman of AHFA will focus on the financing of manufactured homes with AHFA’s First Step and Step Up programs. Step-by-step guidance will be provided on the successful processing and underwriting of these loans.

The event will take place on Tuesday, October 21 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The location is the first floor of the Homebuilders Association of Alabama building at 7515 Halcyon Summit Drive in Montgomery.
