I'm thinking about learning how to be a loan originator can anyone give me any feedback about that trade?

I assume you mean residential real estate loan originator? There are also commercial real estate loan originator/underwriter who can make well above 6 figure income. (It's because your income is heavily commission based and the more money is involved in loans, the more income you make). If you start as residential RE originator, you probably won't be doing commercial unless you go through separate training though. The thing is in the past few years loan originator made huge profits because of low interest rates. A lot of people went into that field, too. It's not the same anymore since the housing market is slowing down and interest rate is up. If you are talking about becoming an independent contractor, the competition is going to be high. If the lady say it takes time, I'd be concerned because the later you get in, the harder it will be.

If you're going to change your field anyway, I'd suggest doing some research and explore other fields as well. If you have time, also consider getting formal training at community college.

well the thing is that i have no clue about what you are taking but i think that you should go to googles' and say what is a loan originator maybethat might give a piece of information
