Becoming a Mortgage Loan Officer

[Brad Cook]

I have been looking into a career change, and unfortunately with my financial situation I am unable to jump into REI. I have been doing research into becoming a loan officer to learn the financial/loan side of REI while also having a stable income to start my investing journey, but don't have the loan/banking experience that most banks or mortgage companies look for when hiring either an assistant or LO, if there's any info or advice as how I can get started or what to look for when searching for a job in this particular field.
