I have no job currently && I wanted to volunteer at my local humane society so at least I have a reference if I apply for a loan processor. I would be doing data entry at the shelter. Would that specific skill be of any help in getting a loan processing job? Do loan processors have to do a lot data entry on the computer? Thanks.

Hi everyone, my question is in regards to getting started in the real estate business. I would really like to learn how to become a real estate loan officer and loan processor. I have tried to get some information about this on my own, but I just end up overwhelmed and unable to identify what I really need to do to become one. I don't really know anyone in the field and the few real estate agents that I have asked only tells me to go to one of their meetings, which I have gone to, only to find that they're just trying to sell me into joining their "team". Is this the only way to go? Or is there another option for me? I have searched online and found numerous classes that offer certificates, are these what I need to take? Should I be taking classes in a community college and earning these certificates or is online acceptable? Do I even need to take classes to earn a certificate and do I even need a certificate? Would I need a license to work as a loan officer and/or processor?

If there is any independant mortgage loan processors that work from home, how much of average of loans per month do you process? Did you yourself have to go out and find companies that would let you processor for them? Do you work for more than one company? Do you set your hours for a regular workday (since most is commission only) and last, but not least, is it worth it?

I called a place and the person who answered my call told me that they already have 2 loan processors and she wasn't sure if they needed any more. I couldn't talk to the hiring manager because he was on vacation. Do you think that they would consider hiring me or is 3 loan processors too much? && how many loan processors are there at the mortgage brokerage firm that you work for?

As an experience Loan Officers, what advice can you give to me about your profession? I am very interested in working as a Loan Processor but I am also curious of what “real skills” does it take to work in a Mortgage Loan Office. Whom should you build a close working relationship with? I know the essential people would include a Mortgage Broker license, underwriter, loan consultant, document drawer, etc. but what else is needed besides a large capital. “real skills” = things that are not included in the job description
