RES NET Chief Default Officer, Rida Sharaf, is attending the NPLA Conference in Atlantic City today, where private lenders, capital providers, brokers, investors, and real estate service providers are coming together to discuss what’s next for real estate-based lending.

As private lending continues to evolve, operational efficiency and risk management are becoming just as important as deal flow. The ability to evaluate assets quickly, maintain transparency, and coordinate vendors, borrowers, servicers, and investors can directly impact how lenders manage performance and protect portfolios.

Stay tuned for post-conference content to come, including key takeaways on the challenges private lenders are navigating and how USRES and RES.NET support more connected, informed lending workflows.

Today we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is a lasting reminder of the courage, commitment, and service that protect the freedoms we share.

USRES and RES.NET will be closed today, May 25th, in observation of Memorial Day.

Default management in 2026 requires more than reacting to foreclosure activity. It requires earlier visibility, smarter workflows, and technology that helps teams act before costs compound.

In the new whitepaper, Navigating the Foreclosure Landscape in 2026, we explore how servicers and investors can use data-driven platforms, borrower engagement tools, streamlined short sale/DIL workflows, preservation, valuations, and REO disposition support to improve outcomes across the delinquency-to-disposition lifecycle.

Key topics include:
• Predictive analytics for earlier intervention
• Borrower portals and compliant engagement
• Regulation X considerations
• REO cost control and recovery optimization
• End-to-end default management strategies for 2026

Written by Rida Sharf, USRES Chief Default Officer, this whitepaper combines market insight with real-world default management experience to help servicers and investors prepare for the road ahead.
