becoming a mortgage broker??

[King Curtis]

hey guys,

I am thinking of becoming a mortgage broker or mortgage originator? I think they are the same thing. my college is offering the 20 mandatory hours to apply for the state and national test.

my question is after I pass both national and state tests. how do brokers get loans for the clients exactly?

would I have to apply to all the banks? how would I go about getting loans from all the banks so I can pick the best loan for my client? do all banks work with mortgage brokers?
