Hey SOT members,

It's not too often that I comment on the press releases and industry information that I receive, but I have to gripe about a press release that I just received from the Mortgage Bankers Association. The "national association representing the real estate finance industry" has done something that I consider a litle less than nationally patriotic.

Today, MBA announced that it teamed up with First American to take its award-winning educational techniques and platforms to none other that First American's India-based subsidiary, First Indian.

Is it just me or are others considering moving to India and buying real estate just to see if they'll outsource the real estate procedures to another developing nation from their own country? Just a thought... if you'd like to read about this "great news," take a glance at the article which is free access on the homepage or by following this link -- "MBA, First Indian Form Educational Partnership"

Hope you're all doing well. Sorry to post a negative comment, but this release just rubbed me the wrong way today.

Best,
Jarrod
