Never used a contract mortgage processor and I normally process my own loans or my LOA will assist. Can ypu please advise me on how contract mortgage processors work? I know you pay the contract preocessing company on a case by case basis once the loan closes. How much do contract processors charge per file? I am also considering hiring an inhouse mortgage processor and comparing what type of processor is better for my small mom and pop mortgage broker. What is the going rate on a full time mortgage processor? Can I hire a contract processor where the contract processor works with the mortgage processing company and myself, an independent mortgage broker at the same time? I would be hiring the contract mortgage processor for my files and pay her a base plus commission and the contract processor will also work for her contract processing company in dependent and separate from me. Thank you in advance.
