In this powerful episode ofMikeDrop, we sit down with Mosi Gatling, Senior Vice President of Strategic Growth and Expansion at New American Funding, to explore how the mortgage industry can create a future where homeownership is accessible, sustainable, and inclusive for everyone.

Mosi brings more than 20 years of experience in mortgage lending, community empowerment, and strategic leadership. She’s a dynamic speaker, coach, and mentor who has built a $100M mortgage business and developed innovative programs like the Housing Advocate Certification, designed to equip loan officers and real estate agents with the tools they need to better serve Black homebuyers and underrepresented communities.

In this conversation, Mosi shares how she is reshaping the conversation around homeownership by addressing barriers that have persisted for decades. She discusses why traditional approaches are no longer enough and why the future of housing depends on meeting consumers where they are, with education, inclusion, and the right products.

“It’s not just about generational wealth,” Mosi explains. “It’s about making smart decisions today, giving people the choice to build a future that’s meaningful for them and their families.”

We dive into the real challenges that loan officers, lenders, and communities face:

How to eliminate bias in marketing and hiring practices.

Why understanding consumer needs is more important than relying on outdated strategies.

The importance of trust — built through genuine connection and cultural competence.

How to move beyond the traditional 30-year mortgage mindset and offer solutions that fit today’s homebuyers.

Building pathways for first-time homebuyers, especially in underserved communities.

Mosi’s insights are a wake-up call for the industry. She challenges leaders, originators, and organizations to do more than talk about inclusion — to actively create systems and solutions that work for everyone.

This episode will leave you inspired to think differently about homeownership and motivated to take action in your community. Whether you’re a loan officer, real estate professional, or simply passionate about fair housing, this conversation is for you.
