So, IMO for someone to sit in some title loan joint and actually make loans over the counter, without formal education in the lending arena, you'd need about 6 months to a year of experience before any manager would be rubber stamping you loans, more like a year to get a rubber stamp approval.My time lines are based on repetitious business, not doing some deal twice a month, but more like ten deals a day, 5 days a week. 200 deals a month, that means you have passed by about 1,200 loans before you have seen enough deals to guide yourself through the maze of lending at that level.RE lending will take a couple years really to be a good originator, that is not underwriting loans but walking the loan through the required process and address issues of concern, like title or appraisal issues.

This may go on for weeks...by the time he finally speaks, everyone thinks he's a flippin' genius.First, he's always dressed nice-- button down shirt, nice jeans or khaki's and a jacket he can take off if he's overdressed.He sits near the middle/back (not the very back) and moves a bit forward with each meeting but never to the front.If someone introduces themself, he shakes their hand, looks them in the eye and answers with first and last name, "John Brown."
