    In NC, just passed my NMLS yesterday. I’m really excited because I was a finance manager at a dealership, and it hit home when you said “I was selling stuff to people that wouldn’t otherwise buy it”. Now I will be able to teach and help people that do want what I offer! Now I have to deliver 🔥🔥

      @@destinyveronicaa yeah absolutely. Take the exam seriously because its going to be a long road ahead if you do not pass it the first time. Take the practice exams over and over and make sure you actually understand the concepts, not just memorizing answers. Understand RESPA, HMDA, TILA, and all the regulations. There wasn't really that many math problems on my official exam, so I would worry less about those. As for the job, you will be on the phones a lot starting out and trying to drum up business. I enjoy it because I work from home, have my own schedule and talk to people that actually want to purchase, refi, or do a cash out refi. Not too much selling as long as you get them competitive terms/rates. Just need to talk to A LOT of people lol. Hope you like people!

    Hello Dustin, thank you for this video! I’m in the beginning of my MLO journey and had some fears about my personality not be what the industry expects but I recognised myself in the example of the lady (or gentleman) whose strength was the technical part. I’m extremely thorough, not error prone, quiet but sincere and your video helped me shape a vision for myself as a mortgage professional. I’m not a gregarious character but I connect and build trust in a slower, quieter manner. I’m passionate about helping people, talking about personal finances etc. What you said about sticking with it for 2 years will help me so much when I hit a rough patch 🙏🙏🙏

    Watching this again because I forwarded it to someone who asked me about working with me. I can't wait for the post-2022 revision of this. I've watched every episode and some 4 and 5 times. No other podcast is so helpful and honest. While a lot of mortgage companies are laying off, I still recommend this as a career but only if you're willing to listen to all of the Loan Officers Podcasts.

    Great episode and something I truly needed to hear right now. Super amped up. I actually did work in this industry years ago as a young man in my mid 20's from '05-'07 and went into another industry for well over a decade (Auto sales and service for Audi and Honda most recently). I have been looking into returning to the Mortgage industry for the last 2-3 years after the 14 year hiatus from the industry (Last loan I closed was in September of '07!). What would be your best advice for me to transition back into the business in the next 6-8 months timeframe? Would appreciate any advice and thanks for your podcasts and have been listening to as many as I can find in recent months and am more and more amped to rejoin the business after listening!

I have no background in mortgage or experience in finance so I was a bit worried but your podcast has already prepared me mentally and lit the fire for me to go into this next chapter in my life with all the excitement in the world. Congrats to everyone who recently got their license and experienced MLOs alike. I'm fortunate enough to have gotten hired on by a direct mortgage lender company here in Los Angeles and they're walking me through the process but I still come here daily to soak up as much as I can. Add another CA subscriber to your list! Again thank you for all the knowledge you guys share and good luck to all the aspiring MLOs!

Ask them lots of questions. Start looking for employment opportunities in your market. This might mean starting as a top producing LO’s assistant / Loan Partner. Work on obtaining your NMLS license.

    Just bumped into your channel by accident but I’ve been really intrigued by this career opportunity. I just helped my parents sell their primary residence and buy another. I’ve worked 1 on 1 with the loan officer and did enjoy the process. He’s more of a family friend since he also helped my brother. Im bilingual (I speak fluent Spanish) and educational resources in general for Spanish speaking prospects is very scarce. I’ve actually been toying around with the idea of becoming a loan officer or even a realtor and starting a TH-cam channel educating Spanish speakers. Just gotta get over the fear of putting myself out there haha

    • @TheLoanOfficerPodcast
      @TheLoanOfficerPodcast  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      First, thank you for tuning in. If you work for a bank or a bank owned lender then there is a good chance (depending on the state you live in) that you will not need a license. You will need to register with the NMLS and receive your NMLS number but no external course / test would be required. That being said, having your license gives you the most flexibility. My suggestion is to apply for jobs while studying for your license.
      Hope this helps!

      @TheLoanOfficerPodcast  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Chris - not really. Someone would be better suited being a Loan Officer Assistant, Loan Partner, Jr. Processor, Marketing Assistant or any other entry level role within the mortgage space if a career in the mortgage industry is what they fancy. That being said, there is a path to mortgage by starting as a teller; it is just not my preference.

    What a great podcast! Is this career suitable for non-native English speakers. I speak English, but I'm a bit worried about my accent. Will people trust me?. I speak 4 languages, and I have all the MLO required skills. Your input is much appreciated

    • @TheLoanOfficerPodcast
      @TheLoanOfficerPodcast  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Sarah - First, thank you for indulging in our show. Great question as well as a tricky question. Full disclosure, your accent will make building trust with some folks harder. That is just a fact. I don’t like it but I believe it to be true. However, never let that stop you. There are plenty of top producers out there where English is their second (or 4th) language. Question for you…how do you turn your languages into a strength? If Spanish is one of your languages, then you have a huge leg up as the Hispanic market is the fastest growing demographic for homeownership. Speaking Mandarin, French / Creole, Vietnamese will also open doors for LO’s to becoming THE trusted advisor in a certain community. Lastly, if you are truly worried about conducting business in English and you feel you have a thick accent, there are courses you can take where you can work on your accent so you sound more “North American”. Actors and Actresses, do it all the time.

      20 pages on just RESPA is a bit much😊. You should know each topic enough to explain it to a stranger sitting next to you on a plane flight but not so detailed that you could write a dissertation on it. Stay with the 20 hour course. On a high level know what it is, why it is in place and what it does. Notes should be 3-7 bullet points.

Again, explain who you are, what you are looking to do and why you are worth an interview. Finally, work your circle of influence.
