    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.

    You have 2 options available to you. First option is to go work for a direct lender as an originator. This will allow you to get to know the business and you will work under their DOC license. If licensed under the DOC then the individual employees do not need to be licensed.

    Second option is to go to work for a Broker. To be a loan officer (originator) you will need to enroll and complete a real estate princiapals course, then schedule with the Department of Real Estate for your sales persons license exam. Once you pass and pay the state their due you will then have a real estate license. This will allow you to originate loans and represent buyers and sellers in Real Estate transactions.

    The above poster is correct in pointing out that the market is difficult right now. Many lenders and brokers are closing their doors due to slowing in the industry. However, people are still buying and selling homes and there will always be a need for agents and loan officers.

    Best of luck to you!
