By June 2023, over 60,000 Mortgage Loan Originators have left the mortgage industry due to inflation, surging mortgage rates, skyrocketing homes prices, regulations, and low housing inventory. Another 50,000 loan officers are not expected to renew their loan origination licenses. Being a loan officer is not the most glamorous career today. Thousands of mortgage companies have or are thinking of leaving the Mortgage Industry. Rates are at historic high, the secondary market is unstable, lenders are scared to lend, economists are forecasting a housing market crash, inflation is soaring daily, and the Federal Reserve Board is absolutely clueless. So is now the time to be in the mortgage industry?

There are so many scammers in the United States. Every part of the country is invested by fraudsters at all levels. I know there are many different types of fraud and each type of fraud is stealing. Fraud is when a natural person maliciously deceives its victims by scamming their victims with the goal of taking advantage of the victim thus causing financial hardship. Common goals of scammers committing fraud is to take money, or assets of monetary or intellectual value or stealing private data, and information from you, your family, or your employer, or your business. Scammers commit fraud via email, text, phone or in person, either on the street or on your doorstep. Some adults may be especially vulnerable to fraud and financial abuse.

Climate change refers to significant changes in global temperatures and weather patterns over time. While climate variability is natural, much of the recent observed changes are due to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) like carbon dioxide and methane. This phenomenon is also commonly referred to as global warming or anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change. Here’s a broad overview of its causes, impacts, and the response strategies:
Causes of Climate Change
- Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) for energy, deforestation for agriculture, and industrial processes contribute to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere.
- Land Use Changes: Deforestation not only releases the carbon stored in trees but also reduces the planet’s capacity to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.
- Agriculture: This sector contributes significantly through methane emissions from livestock and rice fields, and nitrous oxide from over-fertilized fields.
Impacts of Climate Change
- Temperature Increases: The most direct effect is the rise in global temperatures, leading to heatwaves and disrupted weather patterns.
- Ice Melt and Sea Level Rise: The increase in global temperatures has led to the melting of ice caps and glaciers, contributing to rising sea levels, which can cause coastal erosion, increased flooding, and threaten coastal communities.
- Ocean Acidification: CO2 absorption is making the oceans more acidic, affecting marine life and ecosystems, particularly coral reefs and shellfish populations.
- Extreme Weather Events: There is an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and heavy rainfall.
- Impact on Biodiversity: Climate change is altering habitats and threatening species with extinction, disrupting natural ecosystems.
- Socioeconomic Effects: Impacts include threats to food security from decreasing crop yields and the loss of livable land, which could lead to displacement and climate refugees.
Responses to Climate Change
- Mitigation: This involves reducing the flow of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, either by reducing sources of these gases (e.g., the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, or transport) or enhancing the sinks that accumulate and store these gases (such as the oceans, forests, and soil). Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric systems generate electricity with little or no pollution and GHG emissions.
- Adaptation: Involves making adjustments in ecological, social, or economic systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli and their effects or impacts. It aims to reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts, allowing societies to manage risks and damage while taking advantage of potential opportunities.
- International Agreements: The Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), signed in 2015, is one of the global efforts where countries committed to limiting global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels through nationally determined contributions.
Personal and Community Actions
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Adopting more sustainable practices in daily life can significantly reduce one’s carbon footprint.
- Energy Efficiency: Using more energy-efficient appliances and vehicles, upgrading insulation in homes, and using public transport can reduce individual GHG emissions.
- Support/Advocate: Supporting policies and leaders who prioritize climate actions and sustainable practices is crucial. Community-level actions can amplify individual efforts.
Addressing climate change requires coordinated global actions but also hinges on national, local, and individual efforts. The collective engagement in mitigation and adaptation measures is essential to effectively manage and hopefully overcome this global challenge.
Joe Biden and his administration are planning a climate emergency in the coming days or weeks. The Democrats are panicking because of the low approval rating and are cornered on what they can do to cheat their way to get reelected. Americans should expect more crisis, climate emergency Lock downs, wars, riots, pandemics, or natural disasters

Fannie Mae Housing Market Forecast for 2025 announced that Mortgage Rates will remain at higher than 6.00% and not to expect a drop in mortgage rates. The federal reserve board dropping interest rates 4 times in 2024 turned out to be a big fat lie despite out of control inflation. The federal reserve board and Treasure Secretary Janet Yellen are blatantly lying about the economy having a soft landing and inflation being under control. Evey consumer in America know that prices of goods and services are out of control and inflation is not minutely close to what the fake NEWS MEDIA is reporting. Please don’t believe what the fake news media and the political hacks are announcing.

Mortgage brokers maximum compensation or yield spread premium is 2.75% paid to the mortgage broker by the wholesale mortgage lender. However, some mortgage brokers want to get paid less such as 2.50% or 2.00% compensation or yield spread premium. I know some mortgage brokers who have 1.50% compensation plan set up. If I worked for a mortgage broker or owned my own mortgage brokerage company, can I set up various different types of compensation plans with different wholesale mortgage lenders. For example, 2.75% compensation plan with AMG, 2.25% with the Lender, 2.00% with Provident, and 1.50% with United Wholesale Mortgage? I was recommended to as @CAM-THE-MAN Cameron LeClair because he is a senior member of this forum and well respected and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you in advance.

Maintaining a good insurance score is crucial for your financial well-being. Your insurance score is a number that represents how much of a risk you are to your insurance company. Did you know that making an insurance claim can affect your insurance score? When you file a claim, it’s important to do so wisely and responsibly because claims history can follow you for 5 to 7 years on your insurance history and can have a significant impact on your premium. The more claims you make, the higher your risk becomes, and thus, the higher your premium will be. That’s why it’s important to report claims wisely and responsibly to avoid any negative impact on your insurance score. By doing so, you can ensure that you maintain a good insurance score, which can help you get better rates on your insurance premiums. So, always make sure to report claims wisely and responsibly to protect your financial well-being. #InsuranceTips #FinancialWellBeing

What are the states that require distance requirements for loan officers from where they live to the mortgage branch they are sponsored from. There are about a dozen states that require mortgage loan originators to be tied and/or sponsored by a mortgage branch such as a 50 to 100 mile distance requirement. Does anyone know which states have the distance to residency requirements between the branch and the loan officer personal residence?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts a 2.9% employment growth for mortgage loan originators between 2022 and 2032. During that period, it is forecasted 10,400 jobs in the mortgage industry should open up. Licensed and registered mortgage loan originators advise, authorize and recommend loan approval for individuals and businesses. According to data from the U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS tens of thousands of loan officers LEFT the mortgage industry in 2023 due to inflation, surging mortgage rates, and housing shortage. In October, 2023, 67% of current mortgage loan officers produced less than one unit of closed loans in October. 21% of loan officers closed 1.5 units per month and only 12% of mortgage loan orignators closed greater than 2.5 units. The mortgage industry was decimated due to the economy, high rates, and inventory shortage. Very few from the work force sought work in the mortgage lending industry. According to the Nationwide Mortgage Multistate Licensing System, in the second quarter, there were 24.5 percent fewer individual licenses awarded for mortgage lenders. That means people are leaving the mortgage industry altogether permanently. More loan officers are expected not to renew their NMLS licenses or leave the mortgage industry.
In all of 2022 and through the first half of 2023, the average mortgage lender was not profitable and lost money on every mortgage it originated. In first quarter of this year, the average loss was $1,972 per mortgage loan. In the second quarter, the size of the loss improved to $534 per loan.
Realtor.com, the real estate listing and informational website forecasts the housing market will continue to struggle in 2024 and mortgage rates will average 6.8% in 2024, and possibly drop to 6.5% by the end of 2024. This is not promising news because mortgage rates were at 2.5% just two years ago. Loan officers are expected to have a tough road ahead because consumers have not adapted to this sudden hike in rates. Until the mortgage rate of 6.5% is accepted as the new normal, the mortgage industry will continue to struggle and more loan officers and mortgage companies are expected to leave the mortgage industry. There were a total of 160,000 licensed and registered mortgage loan originators. 50,000 loan officers have exited the mortgage industry and more are expected to leave this year by the second quarter. There are 90,000 mortgage loan originators left in the mortgage industry today but that number is forecasted to drastically get reduced to as much as 40,000 so only 50,000 loan officers is forecasted to remain in business.

Is Donald Trump out to run for political office to enrich himself and his family unlike other politicians who became multi millionaires while being in political office?
