“The City of Baltimore, Maryland suffered a ransomware attack on May 7, 2019. Due to the attack, the City is currently unable to record documents until further notice. In the interim they are issuing ‘Lien Certificates’. Mr. Cooper is offering the following guidance related to loans closed within the city of Baltimore: ‘Any loans with title reports that contain title exception language regarding lien certificates will be ineligible until further notice.’ If you have any questions, please contact your Regional Sales Team.”

For example, two of the top three largest gaining MSAs from 2010 to 2018 were in the state of Texas, with both Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington and Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land gaining over 1 million people during that time, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Dallas and Houston have estimated populations of 7.5 million and 7.0 million, respectively, ranking them the fourth and fifth most populous metro areas in the U.S."
