I must have called over two dozen state mortgage licensing agencies in the past week and I am getting nothing but the runaround. I also called Mortgage Educators and other NMLS mortgage licensing schools and still cannot get the answer I am looking for. The mortgage industry and regulators are making a huge deal about not being able to get an NMLS mortgage loan originator license if you have bad credit. They are saying if you are late on your payments or have derogatory information on your personal credit profile you are classified as being financially irresponsible and not fit to become a mortgage loan originator. People can go through bad times, divorce, medical, or times of unemployment where you can have bad credit without being financially irresponsible. Now my question is can you get a mortgage loan orignator license with bad credit, collections, and late payments? Thank you in advance.

My mortgage lender said I did not qualify for a mortgage because I had a debt settlement. The loan officer told me that mortgage lenders consider debt settlement the same as bankruptcy. Some mortgage lender consider debt settlement worse than bankruptcy because with bankruptcy, you cannot file another bankruptcy after seven to ten years after a discharge. However, with debt settlement, the consumer is a walking time bomb and can file bankruptcy anytime after the debt settlement. Is this true? I should have never done a debt settlement if I am treated like a dead beat. I tried to be a responsible person and pay my debts with debt settlement. How long does a debt settlement on your credit report.

There are so many mortgage companies closing their doors and filing bankruptcy. Never in history have so many loan officers quit so fast due to skyrocketing mortgage rates. Besides the surging rates, housing inventory is low. Many homeowners who got mortgage rates at 2.5% two years ago are not budging on selling their homes. I heard in the beginning of the year 2023, there were 150,000 mortgage loan officers in the United States. A few weeks ago, the number of loan officers left in the United States was somewhere in the 70,000. I have researched this matter with hundreds of loan officers, mortgage company owners, processors, support and operation mortgage professionals, real estate agents, underwriters, wholesale mortgage account representatives, builders, and anyone directly or indirectly in the housing and mortgage industries. Please share your thoughts.

Gunner is a very smart dog. He’s been humanlike since I got him. When he was a baby, he gets off the bed and goes to the hardwood floor and lays there spread eagle since it is cooler there. Now, he squeezes next to my side of the bed to get face first in my fan I have next to my pillow. Here’s a picture and a small video clip

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make, and it’s important to stay informed about recent changes in the real estate process that could impact your experience. Recently, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) reached a settlement introducing new guidelines to increase transparency for homebuyers. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know and how it might affect you.
What’s Changed?
One of the key changes is that homebuyers will now be required to sign a written Buyer Representation Agreement before touring homes with an agent. This agreement outlines the services your agent will provide, how they’ll be compensated, and the duration of the representation. The idea behind this change is to ensure that you and your agent clearly understand your working relationship from the outset.
Understanding the Buyer Representation Agreement
The Buyer Representation Agreement is essentially a contract between you and your agent. It specifies the terms of your partnership, including:
- Agent Responsibilities: Clearly defines what your agent will do for you during the representation period.
- Transparency of Services: Ensures you understand your agent’s role and the services they’ll provide.
- Compensation Details: Specifies how and what your agent will be paid.
- Expert Guidance: This guarantees that you have a professional on your side to help you navigate the complex homebuying process.
These changes are designed to protect you by ensuring that everything is clearly laid out before you start the homebuying process.
What About Seller-Paid Fees?
One important point to note is that while the ruling restricts the advertisement of the buyer’s agent fee on the MLS, it doesn’t prevent the seller from covering your agent’s fee. In many cases, your REALTOR® can still negotiate with the seller to have them pay your agent’s fee as part of the transaction. This can be a significant financial benefit, as it could reduce the amount you need to bring to closing. Your agent will advocate on your behalf to ensure you’re getting the best possible deal, which might include negotiating for the seller to cover some or all of your agent’s fee.
Why Work with a REALTOR®? Even with these new requirements, working with a REALTOR® can provide significant benefits during your homebuying journey:
-
Expertise: REALTORS® are trained professionals who understand the complexities of the real estate market. They can help you navigate contracts, negotiations, and other important aspects of buying a home.
-
Local Knowledge: A REALTOR® with experience in your area can provide valuable insights into neighborhoods, property values, and market trends that might not be obvious at first glance.
-
Support and Guidance: The homebuying process can be overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers. A REALTOR® can guide you through each step, helping you make informed decisions along the way.
These recent changes are about ensuring you’re fully informed and protected throughout the homebuying process. The Buyer Representation Agreement is a tool to ensure transparency and clear communication between you and your agent, ultimately leading to a smoother and more confident homebuying experience.

The value of investing in real estate, including buying a house in California, can depend on various factors and it’s hard to make a blanket statement without considering all of them. However, here are some general considerations:
1. **Market Trends:** As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the housing market in California had been experiencing significant growth for many years, with prices increasing steadily. Some areas, such as San Francisco or Los Angeles, had seen especially high appreciation. It’s important to monitor the latest trends, as the market can fluctuate.
2. **Location:** The potential for return on investment can greatly depend on the specific location within California. Properties in or near major cities or in desirable communities tend to hold value well and may offer higher potential returns. However, they can also come with higher initial investment costs.
3. **Rent Potential:** If you’re planning to rent out the property, it’s crucial to consider the rental market in the area. Some parts of California have a strong rental market with high demand, which could provide a good source of income.
4. **Long-term Investment:** Typically, real estate should be viewed as a long-term investment. In the short term, fluctuations in the market can occur, but over the long term, real estate generally tends to appreciate in value.
5. **Taxes and Regulations:** California has higher property taxes and stricter regulations for landlords compared to many other states. These should be factored into your considerations.
6. **Economic Stability:** California has a strong and diverse economy, which can support the long-term growth of property values.
7. **Other Financial Considerations:** Buying a house involves significant costs beyond the purchase price, such as maintenance costs, insurance, property taxes, and potentially homeowner association fees.
It’s also important to consider your financial situation, your investment goals, and your risk tolerance. Real estate can be a good investment, but it also comes with potential risks and costs.
Please note that while these points may serve as a general guide, you should consult with a financial advisor or real estate professional who can provide advice based on the current market conditions and your individual circumstances.
