Becoming an underwriter

[Nicholas Baxter]

Hey all, first of all this isn't specifically real estate related, but instead mortgage related. I'm looking to get into the mortgage underwriting as a career. I have no previous experience in the field but want to start educating myself on the practices and software associated with underwriting. Any underwriters here that have some good resources or suggestions on how to best get in to the industry? Also, what are the certifications I should start studying for? I've begun learning about the NMLS exam as a start.
