There Are Some Very Nice Mortgage Banking Careers California Can Offer You

By Aimee Schwartz


For any student trying to find a career choice if can be very confusing. There are so many to choose from and for those that need to choose subjects towards the end of their school career some hard decisions need to be made. One career path could be the mortgage banking careers California has. Working in a bank is something many dream of as one is able to advance in this field.

In this line of work one will be dealing with people on a daily basis as they help people to apply for loans in order to buy commercial properties or homes. Some will even help the person applying to sort out which loan would best suit their purpose and will lend a hand in filling out the many different forms. Others still will be the ones to evaluate the application as to determine if that person will be a good lending risk.

The credit determines how well the borrower has managed any debt and is usually done by a credit score. The main purpose is to see if there is any risk on the lenders behalf and it will also help to determine what interest rate will be set as well as the credit limit. This form of scoring is not only done by banks and credit companies but by landlords, insurance companies and mobile phone companies to name only three.

Many of these programs take place over no less than eighteen months and generally begin in late August. There is normally a four month summer break in between and many students have some prior work experience. These classes normally require at least six hundred hours of graduate work or sixty credits.

The choice is either commercial, residential or masters program and exams in each of the chosen ones will need to be written and passed. Some other professional organizations such as American Bankers Association or the Bank Administration Institute may have their own programs. It will be important to have knowledge of computers and an asset if one is able to use computer software to evaluate applicants when they wish to apply.

A mortgage originator also falls under the banking careers and they are either a broker or banker but are generally referred to as a lender. They are part of the primary mortgage market which in simple terms negotiates conditions as well as transactions. Brokers, bankers as well as credit unions and all banks fall under this definition.

The salary however does get taken into account of where the business is located. The highest state to pay for this position is Virginia and the next one is California followed by Florida and Illinois. This is according to a survey done in 2011 by PayScale.

PayScale is an online compensation, salary and benefits company. They have been in business since January of 2002. A former Microsoft manager Joe Giordano and John Gaffney founded this company and in 2014 Warburg Pincus invested about one million dollars. With the amount of information that is received they are able to give accurate real time salary information to those that are interested.
