Over the past 18 months, we&apos;ve seen a 15% increase in alternative lending, and it&apos;s crucial for brokers to understand and capitalize on this opportunity. I emphasized the need to educate ourselves on alternative products, market effectively, and maintain strong client relationships, particularly with self-employed borrowers. I encouraged everyone to follow up with clients post-closing, as 65% of alternative mortgages are now renewing, which can lead to ongoing profitability. Please take action by reaching out to your databases and exploring the alternative lending options available to you.</description></oembed>
