Mortgage Professional America

What Mortgage Professional America does

Mortgage Professional America (MPA) is a B2B trade media publication serving the US mortgage industry, founded in 1996 and operated under KM Business Information US, Inc, a subsidiary of the KM Business Information media group headquartered in Centennial, United States. The publication targets mortgage brokers, loan officers, lenders, and industry vendors with daily editorial coverage organized into sections including Broker Intel, Mortgage Industry (Business Growth, Guides, Industry Moves, Industry Trends, Market Updates), Best in Mortgage, and specialty verticals covering Wholesale, Non-QM, Commercial, Reverse, and Transformation lending. Content distribution spans a primary website (mpamag.com), a free daily email newsletter, the MPA Talk podcast distributed across Apple, Spotify, Amazon, and iHeart, white papers, RSS, social media (X/Twitter @MPAMagazineUS), and a video section (MPA TV).

MPA's product surface is built on a content publishing platform rather than proprietary software. Core products include the MPA News Platform (editorial portal), MPA Talk podcast series, a White Papers library, and the MPA Daily Newsletter. The platform does not disclose APIs, SDKs, mobile applications, or proprietary AI/ML systems. Distribution is self-serve for readers and direct-sales for advertisers, with regional editions live in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, indicating a multi-geography content syndication operation under the parent group.

MPA's revenue model is dual-stream: primary revenue comes from advertising sold to mortgage lenders, technology providers, and industry vendors (rates undisclosed, quote-based via sales contact form), with secondary revenue from premium content subscriptions and gated white papers. The daily newsletter is free, white papers require signup, and premium exclusive features are gated behind subscription — a freemium content model. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or regulatory actions are disclosed in the available data, and the publication has operated continuously for nearly 30 years under the KM Business Information umbrella.

Direct peers

• MReport: MReport is a US mortgage-industry publication covering origination, servicing, technology and compliance, overlapping MPA's editorial coverage and competing for the same broker and vendor audiences.
• HousingWire: HousingWire is the largest US mortgage-industry news and information brand, offering daily news, events (HousingWire Annual), an awards program, and a magazine — directly overlapping MPA's news, podcast, white paper and awards portfolio.
• Reverse Mortgage Daily: Reverse Mortgage Daily is a niche US publication focused on the reverse-mortgage segment, which is one of MPA's dedicated Specialty sections — competing for reverse-mortgage lender marketing budgets.
• National Mortgage News: National Mortgage News (part of Arizent) provides news, data and events for the US mortgage and consumer-banking industry, serving the same broker/lender reader base as MPA.
• Inside Mortgage Finance: Inside Mortgage Finance publishes mortgage-industry news, data and reports targeting lenders, investors and policymakers — a direct competitor for both readership and lender/vendor sponsorship revenue.
• Scotsman Guide: Scotsman Guide is a long-running US mortgage-industry publication covering loan officers, brokers and lenders with rankings, editorial content and advertising — competing head-to-head with MPA for the same broker audience and lender marketing dollars.

Broad incumbents

• Inman: Inman is a large, established real-estate news and events brand covering residential brokerage and adjacent topics; it competes for real-estate-adjacent advertising spend and offers broader real-estate audience scale than MPA's mortgage-only focus.

Others

• Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA): MBA is the US mortgage-industry trade association producing its own research, news and events. It is an ecosystem participant rather than a direct editorial competitor but influences where brokers and lenders consume industry content and advertising.
• Mortgage Professional Australia: Mortgage Professional Australia is a sister brand operated by the same parent (KM Business Information / KeyMedia), sharing editorial infrastructure and audience overlap with MPA US; included to illustrate the internal portfolio competitor dynamic.

Emerging players

• Calculated Risk / The Big Picture: Calculated Risk is a high-traffic independent economics/real-estate blog widely read by mortgage professionals; while not a mortgage-trade publisher, it competes for the same audience attention and a share of mortgage-adjacent content consumption.
