I did have an NMLS number when I first began in the mortgage world, but haven't needed it the past few years so I have not renewed it.Often times, I feel that the file work (even taking on addtional workload and tasks) would definitely be worth my time if I was compensated on commission rather than a flat-rate per file.

I know from my own experience that many in my social network have done really well from crowd sourcing real estate and stock market investing tricks.

I was originally thinking of posting it on Social Media however I like your idea better.

LCSW is the other set of letters you will see if someone is a licensed social worker.  

I always suggest joining investing groups on other social media platforms as well - searching for the local + investing or REI to find.Make sure to set-up your keyword alerts here on BP, too, under your settings.

We all hear about those great rates being advertised on TV, the radio, and those annoying ads on any social media platform because EVERYONE is tracking you.

What platforms/social media's have people used in the past???

Always do your research on a lender by checking their website, social media, online reviews, etc.

Put another way...society says to go to college, get a job, work up the corporate ladder, and retire at 65 with social security benefits. 

I personally like to bring a specific topic of discussion to my meetups rather than just meeting up and socializing.
