Should I consider home loan officer careers?
Answer:Home loan officer careers are expected to experience average employment growth until 2014. You should consider going into a home loan officer career if you have expressed steady interest in finance and economics and enjoy dealing with people. Sales ability and great communication skills are highly valued in home loan officer careers.
Also, since the home loan industry is nowadays carried out completely via computers, higher than average computer literacy is expected from all home loan officers sooner or later, especially if you are willing to advance in your home loan officer career into a managerial position.
Over 90 percent of loan officers are employed by commercial banks, credit unions and savings institutions, and other relevant financial institutions. Home loan officer careers are readily available in urban areas and proximities. For rural areas, the local bank branch most probably will be servicing loan applications.
Our advice: Be sure to ask your lender about FHA loans. FHA loans have very competitive interest rates because the loans are insured by the US Federal Government. Even if you have had serious credit problems, such as bankruptcy, it is easier to qualify for an FHA loan than a conventional loan. Also, taking an FIXED rate loan while the interest rates are still low is a smart idea. Check your eligibility here:
