How to Become a Mortgage Lender
- 1). If you do not know how to use a computer or the Internet, take college courses. A mortgage lender of today must be comfortable with using the computer and Internet.
- 2). Check with your state’s finance department to determine if a license is required for mortgage lenders. If a license is required, request information on the state’s specific licensing requirements. Follow your state’s requirements to become licensed.
- 3). Apply for a mortgage lender position at the mortgage department of your local bank, mortgage bank or mortgage broker. If you are in a state that does not require licensing, many of these companies may be looking for a mortgage lender trainee.
- 4). Take real estate mortgage and lending courses at real estate schools or colleges. Even if your state does not require licensing, the education will put you in a better position when being considered for a job.
