We're working with a Mortgage Broker who seems inexperienced. Does anyone know what they are responsible for; what their duties are? Also, if she forges any documents that go to the underwriter are we liable? She told us we were approved but came back to us saying the underwriter needs more docs, letters of explanation, etc. Some of the stuff we just don't have and I get the feeling we will be denied if we can't provide them. She says she'll get it done "one way or another". We've been denied once. We're exhausted with the whole process and can't understand why she says we're approved and then needs more stuff!!!!
If she write an explanation letter, you will have to sign it @ close. She can't forge any docs. If you don't provide what they are asking for, you will not get the loan! It's as simple as that! The reason she is asking for more docs is because the underwriter is asking for more.
It sounds like you don't trust her & if that is the case, find another broker.

I simply cannot seem to find legitimate information on becoming a mortgage broker in California. Many of the web sites that purport to have information really share very little of anything and some are just plain frauds. I'd like to find information on mortgage broker training and possibly information on finding a school (preferably Los Angeles) where I can get training on becoming a mortgage broker.
What are you thinking BRO that is a bad job especially this time of the year. You only get two applicants a week. No houses selling.

I know the mortgage industry is in a mess right now, but I am looking toward the future when we rebound. Wondering what requirments there are to become a mortgage broker in Ohio. I am looking to work this industry on the side, as I already have a full time sales job. Also what are the typical commisions paid to brokers for sub-prime, prime, and jumbo mortgage loans...is this split with the company you work for? I already work 100% commission, so that is not a problem. Any input on this career is greatly appreciated, ie the ups and downs.
Here's a link to the application required by the state. It included a list of requirements to be eligable. http://www.com.state.oh.us/dfi/documents /mainofficemortgagebrokerapppacket_000.p df
I would start by getting some of the required education. You may want to also work for a company before typing to open your own brokerage. Even if you only work in a related field it will be very helpful later on. Such as as a real estate assistant to a successful real estate agent.

Get a job at the Mortgage Broker Office.
at first, you'll just answer phone calls and all, but eventually, you'll either be a processor or agent.

Hi
I want to know, according to UK laws and FSA regulations what can I do if my mortgage broker lied to the lender about my income? I accidently came to know this and broker is not yet accepting this. Mortgage lender is now asking for income proof (which broker wasn't expecting) which would result in rejection in mortgage application. I have signed the document that the information in application is correct, but whatever was shown to me was different info. and not the one which is sent with application. and application was made on date prior to my signing date. What can I do to teach them a lesson, to get compensation. prefferably I do not want to spend money in hiring lawyer. The firm is FSA regulated, but it does not comply with FSA in this matter.
You signed the application with the information as stated, and thus will be held to that. You can claim someone changed it, but can you prove it? Hate to say it but it sounds more like you also tried to get away with something (IE knew it was wrong) but thought you could get away with it, and now where caught and am looking for a scapegoat . Now you want them to pay because you are not eligible for the mortgage. Give me a break

Rising unemployment seems to be encouraging a wigwag of new entrepreneurism. There’s a technique nearby my lodge where I see all kinds of people operating out of their trunks. They push everything from watermelons to ceramic pots, rugs and bonsai trees.
This is the first mortgage broker I’ve seen with a roadside stopover. How wish will it be before he’s joined by CPAs, realtors and attorneys?
Of headway, there’s the conceivability that this is hardly part of the rotation. With commercial genuine possessions values dropping like a outcrop, perhaps before too extended, the watermelon guy will be talented to spare some strict retail room in a specific mall.
Richinaz-
I don’t be aware, I might be avid to give the guy a provocation- I’d at least talk to him. He might have been humane at what he does, but was laid off when his boutique imploded.
A lot of mortgage brokers have accepted up and moved on to other things. I’m not effective if the guy is dedicated, or perfectly doesn’t identify how to do anything else. It would be absorbing to be acquainted with, wouldn’t it?
I very recently can’t see myself dealing with a broker working out of the back of his carrier. And as Tobby siad he could be a realtor I tried to presume from the signs in the exact likeness but I couldn’t hint them out. I’m don’t deem I’d even labour with a realtor under these conditions but he may be giving smoking deals. I surface more enjoyable with a buddy amd mortar genre of subject.
i pep south on 7th st from unanimity hills to get to toil sometimes. about 2 months ago there was a man at 7th and thunderbird out every morning (for 1-2 weeks). He brought an role preside, was always in a for, and sat there with a sign up for that said something to the drift of “whiz businessman looking for toil.” it’s gettin catchy bonkers!!!
