- 03/07/10 12:43 PM
The mortgage industry is fascinating. I've enjoyed over 20 years helping 1,000's of homeowners finance or refinance their home. Even amongst the turmoils that the industry has experienced over the last several years this continues to be one of the most rewarding aspects of my career.
Helping Homeowners For Over 20 Years With the changes in the industry came changes to the documentation requirements. Are you self employed? Remember the "Stated Income" days?
