SHIT DONT STOOOOP!

[@ariellafuente8294]

Senior in engineering, and this summer I thought it would have been fun to get my MLO license. If you told me how much I needed to work to pass, I do not know if I would have done it. Either way, took a 23 hour online course, a pre exam prep course, and in the course of two weeks of severely intense studying I passed. This is by far the hardest test I have taken, I believe this test is designed to trick you and challenge the integrity of your confidence. Now I am on my way for applying for the NMLS for my license! If you are studying, definitely do not underestimate the difficulty of the test, especially if you do not have a background in the mortgage industry like me. Although. if you thoroughly prepare, then you will be fine!

How funny. Bill actually taught my class. A true expert.

I took his class 3 years ago in Orlando. Really great instructor!

[@thenoobentrepreneur4493]

Team 3rd time was the charm👏🏽🙏🏾. Tysm for these episodes I’m binge watching on a Sunday.

[@ashleyselles5515]

I just want to say Bill was my teacher at stuart, Florida gold coast and he is truly an amazing mortgage professor. I'm taking my test October 28, 2022. He is a great teacher and very invested in his students. I would of purchase his material but I can't afford right now. I'm studying my butt off and watching alot of videos. I just want Bill to know he is amazing truly.

[@maheshsaladi4082]

Just decided to pursue this career @60+, and you both are amazing, gave me a good understanding!

[@TheLoanOfficerPodcast]

That's awesome to hear Mahesh! You're never too old to get it started!

[@frankcorrieri]

Super grateful for this episode! Small correction, very minor: you can take the course first and when you’re bout to take the course test, you can get your NMLS number. But you do not need your NMLS number to START the course.

Good stuff as usual.

[@Danistormcloud]

Hey guys! Just wanted to come and show some love! I started watching your channel months ago with the intention to become a licensed MLO. You guys inspired me to put my boots to the ground and grind out the SAFE material. I passed with an 89% and just wanted to say thank you to you guys for setting the ground work for me to be better prepared for 20hr and ultimately to pass SAFE.

[@TheLoanOfficerPodcast]

This is AWESOME to hear Heather - thanks for sharing and congrats! Glad we could help!

How it is that everyone knows the NMLS site is horrible and all the other issues and yet it’s not fixed?

[@Murmaider512]

Really eager to prepare and take this test. But I'm curious with technology advancing. How long will LMO's last until AI credit companies take over this sector

[@TheLoanOfficerPodcast]

Hey Brandon - great question! We actually did an episode on this topic, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4OthKiPq6inpsk

[@dustinowen1191]

Once you understand the real role of an MLO you will be concerned less...Yes, technology will help make obtaining a loan easier. It will be easier on the LO, it might make the Processor obsolete and it will be easier on the Underwriter. However, a great MLO is an advisor, a consultant. You have to ask all the right questions of your borrowers and help people figure out how to qualify and once they qualify which of the 10+ financing options is best for them and then explain why. These folks will have anxiety, fears and frustrations you as the MLO have to be there with them walking them through this process and helping them cope with the magnitude of emotions. In general, people's back story / financial history is sticky. Meaning, loans are not easy. Real people with real life real situations need real people to help them navigate said situations.

[@Murmaider512]

@@dustinowen1191 Thank you for taking out the time to address my concern and also thank you for these great videos. I kept a straight forward view towards the concept of mortgage loan origination but with 350 Mn people in this country and each with a different story, it will take at least 20 yrs+ and many more data points for AI lending companies to buy/acquire all the data they need to automate MLO (unless a big company Amazon jumps in the game, they're already dealing with turnkey sales and with huge capital and data, can easily jump into loan origination) and predict every outcome to establish a certain limit. I hope your podcast reaches all aspiring people to give this career path a try. Meanwhile, keep up the great content and knowledge you're giving to us children 18+ :)

So one question why is the passing rate decrease after the first attempt????🤔🤔🤔

[@mattm3275]

Incredible information, thank you so much for sharing this. Also, as a HUGE Buffalo Bills fan, I love your Bills Mafia story about Andy Dalton and the money raised for his charity after he threw a touchdown pass to beat the Ravens that subsequently sent the Bills to the playoffs. You should look up what they did for Josh Allens mom at the local hospital.

Hey, may have missed it but Bill was talking about purchasing the videos and study material via themortgagecommander.com ; I see on the website an option to become a member with access to the website, does that include the videos and flash cards, or do you need to become a member first, then purchase the videos and flash cards separate? or is that material on the gold coast website?

Hey Michael - thanks for the question. We'll follow up with Bill and get back with you!
