There is alos your ability to take out the first mortgage in the event of default!

When I was a mortgage banker / direct lender, I moved a few times myself, always for a really good reason, typically involving deliverable service levels to clients (a lender is great when you start, then they grow too fast, or start outsourcing to the 3rd world, make bad choices in other areas, rates start creeping up compared to market, etc, and is no longer a model match), since that's the majority of where a LO earns their income.

My advice is to first, find a LO or broker who is willing to teach and is patient.
