Tagging my favorite LO @Wyatt Wolff

1 - There is no such thing as a Down Payment when you do a LO. 

I have never used escrow or title services at the LO phase. 

Besides it being the long way (the really l   o   n     g     way), the most glaring is the belief that you are somehow getting your money back out...you're not. 

You can look at the MLS or property website and it should list all of these descriptions above and if not you or the Banker, Lo or Realtor can call.FHA offers 3.5% down, VA offer 100% Financing if you are a Military Veteran, and Fannia Mae offers 3-5% down for first time home owners.

Yes, I do LOTS of LO's in TX.  

If it was a homeowner, I'd check zillow/redfin for when they purchased, and I'd want to work with folks who have owned for at least 2 or 3 years, enough time for them to already have been burned.If it was an investor, I'd just ask them how many properties they own, looking for 2 or 3 minimum (sorry to throw you under the bus new investors, but I'm pretending to be a general contractor here, not a loan officer).If you are ONLY getting phone calls from folks that do not pass the applicable test, then I'd say you have a marketing problem (in my industry, same thing, if the LO is only getting calls from people working in fast food who don't have the income to qualify for a mortgage at local price points, that's a marketing problem).

Quite frankly I would have to get very bored to become a LO at this point in my investing.
