Mortgage Underwriter License in Maryland

[Scott Stewart]

Good evening BP community.

I was recently informed that I should get my broker license along with my real estate license to help with my investing.  Outside of the obvious learning the laws parts, is there any other reason to get a license?  I don't personally know of any way to write mortgage loans without vast personal wealth or working for a bank.  Is there something I am missing, or is it just as he said, "To learn the ins and outs of a loan, and why it may be taking so long to get one at some point." 

If you have any advice or personal experience with these things, please DM me or reply so I can get a better understanding of what I am going to be getting myself into.
