Is it legal to be a Loan Officer (NMLS) and have another job?
The market is pretty tough right now and business is slow, so is it legal to go out and get another job while being a mortgage lender at the same time? Is it a conflict of interest? Thanks

Yes, you can work another job and be an MLO on the side. Tons of people do this.
No, you cannot work at 2 mortgage companies with both sponsoring you (has to be one or the other).
