Mortgage News Daily - Blogs, Lets take any brokerage or small mortgage banker, 10 loan officers doing an average of 3 loans per month for 30 loans/month. The company has the operations staff to handle the current amount, probably more. Does it make more financial sense to go out and hire a recruiter and/or pay a signing bonus for another LO, or increase the efficiency of the existing LOs through better marketing, training, and improving the process? Lets say all you had to do was move MLOs from 3 loans to 3.5 loans per month. Im no math whiz, but thats 5 more loans per month, about the same as hiring 2 new LOs. And while youre at it, have your Ops staff take advantage of training and conferences that are out there, many at no cost. Makes all the sense in the world.

Mortgage News Daily - Blogs, Posted To:. Homeownership is apparently still one of the best ways to build wealth. The Year-End Home Sales Report from ATTOM Data Solutions shows that the typical homeowner who sold a home in 2019 realized a gain of $65,500. This is up from $58,100 in 2018 and $50,027 in 2017 and the largest profit margin since 2006. Todd Teta, ATTOM's chief product officer said, "The nation's housing boom kept roaring along in 2019 as prices hit a new record, returning ever-higher profits to home sellers, and posing ever-greater challenges for buyers seeking bargains. In short, it was a great year to be a seller. Profits have increased for eight straight years, and 2019's typical $65,500 profit was a 34 percent return on investment (ROI), the highest in 13.

MarketWatch, Cresco Labs Inc. said Thursday it has entered a senior secured term loan agreement for an initial sum of $100 million with an option to borrow up to $200 million. The Chicago-based cannabis company expects to complete an initial drawdown by Jan. 30 and will use the funds to expand operations in Illinois, where cannabis became legal for adult use this year.

"Through this deal, we have diversified the Company's funding sources, improved our cost of capital in a non-dilutive manner and given our.
