Becoming an LO seemed to make sense given my background, but more importantly was something I found very intriguing and and have been pursuing enthusiastically since.I've got an interview tomorrow with my current employer's Regional LO Manager and was curious what advice you all might have for me.A few questions I've pondered and ran by LO friends but want to continue exploring:What does it take to be a good lender?
