Opportunity In Tennessee As An MLO
As a multi-state licensed MLO, I have been pleased with what Tennessee has to offer an MLO. Home values have been climbing for several years now, and it looks like values are going to hold and increase over the next ten years. This means the availability of homeowners who have had mortgages for over 10 to 15 years have abundant equity in their most valuable asset, their home. The opportunity for large cash-out refinances, R&T refinances, and possible HELOCs is very high.
Another advantage for an MLO in Tennessee is a low inventory with an abundance of land with landowners ready to sell to the highest homebuilder bidders.
Now is a good time to begin developing relationships with local real estate agents to prepare for the future homebuilding boom in Tennessee.Let’s Make Your Mortgage Work For You!

Learned something from Amanda that’s very important. Tennessee has a Branch to residency distance requirement if you live outside Tennessee. However, the Branch to residency distance requirement is waived if you live in Tennessee. I did not realize that. Therefore, Amanda is tied to Oakbrook Terrace Illinois Branch and the Branch is licensed in Tennessee but the distance from Branch to her home does not apply since she is legal Tennessee resident.

I am so excited to get down there. Excited for the new adventure. We are in Seiverville about 45 minutes to Knoxville. So I am excited to have new areas to explore!

I like Lee Greenwood. Is he your neighbor? Do you have family in Tennessee? It doesn’t snow in Tennessee right? How is the weather? What type of things to do there? Great food? Restaurants?

It is nice to hear that! Tennessee is now a good country for mortgage loan originators (MLOs). The appreciation of home prices and the equity homeowners have developed over time create ample opportunities for cash-out, rate-and-term refinances, and HELOCs.
Major Chances for Mortgage Loan Originators in Tennessee: Cash-out Refinances—With the appreciation of home prices, once reconstructed, these homes can be used as collateral to enable further financing for debt consolidation, renovations, and so on.
Rate-and-Term Refinances: As the interest rates go up and down, the homeowner will determine the number of existing credible mortgages that have reasonable rates and terms they would want to refinance.
HELOCs: A second mortgage allows homeowners with adequate equity to open a revolving credit account, providing them with accessible cash when required.
Plans of Action for Achieving Goals:
Real Estate Agents Networking: Networking with real estate agents can be advantageous in getting referrals and entering contracts with them. Most of the contracts are done before the final sale, so for real estate agents, it is important to get homebuilders’ selling work done for possible future buyers and sellers.
Construction Opportunities: Considering that land and existing sellers are plentiful, funding for homebuilders and constructing new properties is a plausible reality. This can itself create an entirely new market of customers for you.
Stay current with Market Changes: Knowing local market trends and economic projections can help you foresee changes and modify your strategies accordingly.
Tennessee’s fast-changing market is full of possibilities. By developing good networks and staying updated with relevant information, one can easily become popular as an MLO. All the best in your efforts in Tennessee!
