Notary Loan Signing Agent

[Nathan DeJonge]

After just completing my first refinancing deal (32% forced appreciation on a one-year live in flip), I have become aware of the loan signing agent profession. During my signing appointment my agent was shocked with my knowledge of all of the obscure number and terms of the mortgage documents. While I have  Bigger Pockets to thank for that, she still suggested that I go into the profession, at least part time. She mentioned that it was good money and would provide a network to further accelerate my Real Estate Investment plan. 

So basically I want to hear from people who are currently doing this. I am considering to do this part time (on top of teaching middle school) in the Ann Arbor, MI area.

Is there any required certifications beyond just being a Notary?

How can you get started?

Should I go on my own or seek employment with a Title/Mortgage Office?

Is it even worth it?

Thanks BP Fam,
