@Todd MarkeyHel-LO, it's time for them to GO!

@Jonathan Yu Yang Lo Good afternoon man.

FNMA guidelines are several thousand pages long, and it takes a new LO several years to really understand the answer to that question.If you really want to "how they determine the maximum loan amount," with all the inns and outs including nuances for real estate investors and the self employed, and so on, I'd suggest becoming a loan originator and putting a few years in.

I would not mind wholesaling some or doing some LO or some seller finance, its just not my primary goal.

Bought a lo of houses this way as well.Then on teh other side I started telling people who were renting that I could probably help them into their own home.

On another note, I know several people who specialize in and do well with LO and SLO in any market. 

I would get a bit more specific with any forum posts/questions just to increase the quality of responses.That being said, I am not a LO but my Real Estate team get anywhere from 100-200 online leads per month.The positives are that you will be one of the first LOs to talk to this lead which increases your chances of scheduling an appointment and closing them.Another positive is that these leads are usually motivated (but not always qualified). 

MGIC (one of the larger PMI companies) has a whole bunch of LO resources to check out. 

Never heard of an LO with no end date.Was it recorded? 

I'm very easy going and comfortable on the phone since I'm an LO for quicken and sell mortgages on the phone all day.
