Ask anyone who has already invested in a house; no matter which country they belong to.

I can understand where unisberk is coming from, but its all about where and who you are processing for. Some brokers/lenders just give you a base salary with no performance based pay. The broker I work for pays processors both a base salary as well as pay for each loan they process and close. I’d be willing to bet that our processors make more than most starting loan officers at many other lenders/brokers. Just my 2 cents worth…

Your best bet would be to look around for established brokers in your area. I will tell you that the mortgage market is very soft nationwide, so the likelihood of these companies looking for additional employees may be low. However, if you can get in with an established broker and we have another refi-boom like in 03-04, you’d be looking at making some serious cash if you can get performance based pay.

Personally, I think you need a lobotomy.

It is one of those overworked, over stressed, under appreciated, UNDER paid jobs in life.

You don’t need classes. You need a job with a lender. I did have a real estate license before I started loan processing, but that was rare. Just start applying at banks and lenders.

Well more than likely you wont need regular school classes, real estate/ loan processing and so forth have their own classes. mostly done with a bigger realtor establishment in your area, check with them and find out how many hours you need to take and how much they cost.

Go talk to a loan officer in the real estate loan department in a bank before signing up for classes. A standard business course aimed at finance might be more likely to get you the curriculum you want. Most RE courses are geared to get you into Real Estate as a salesperson or broker, not a loan officer.
