How the Mortgage Industry works

I've actually been interested in real estate since I was in high school (both investing and being an agent), but due to certain circumstances my zeal for the industry had to be put on hold.I decided to move home after college in order to save up some capital so that I can pursue a career in real estate and get into some investing once I moved back to the states.
