@Cody Steck very possible. I've never don't mortgage sales but I'm a private lender and also have owned a dealership and installed the finance department. I suspect the auto job you are considering will be calling on dealerships and developing a relationship with them so that they will "send deals" to your company for approvals. Good , competitive sales experience. You will not learn much about underwriting, but enough to advocate.  The basic principals are the same, credit vs collateral but the product is very different. Both are heavily regulated. Mortgage underwriting seems a lot more complicated to master but would be more lucrative as well. I would think that the auto position would be good experience to parlay into mortgage. Feel free to pm me if I can be of assist. Persevere!

@Kay Winters Welcome to BP, it is interesting that this "investment site" is so willing to assist other investors to succeed. Likewise, the local REIA , http://metrolinareia.org/ is a great way to get Local knowledge and build relationships with other like minded investors. Opportunity is wherever you are looking, Now here or nowhere, same spelling but different outlooks. Persevere!

@Angela Corbett Gs stated , you are in a great position to begin. Let your customers know of your interest and find one who will partner with you. Don't just "do the construction" but learn the opportunity to acquire the deals as well. If your partner wants to learn construction (I doubt it) then so be it. Persevere!
