Started my job May 1st. Gave my pipeline to friend to split out at 50%. Gave my database to another broker......

I have not looked at financial markets in over a week. My biz phone forwards to other broker...

Feels kinda good.

Good luck to everyone.

Do you really want a never ending pipeline of loans that don't close?

OK...maybe that's an exageration...but it was kinda feeling that way.

Good luck Paul! East county is brutal and I don't blame you one bit. It could be years before that area recovers if then. What are you doing now?

Back to the car biz. I spent 18 years in it before the last 7 in mortgage. I took a job as a Sales Manager at a Nissan store.

Good Luck to you Paul. My brother is a finance manager at a Nisson Dealer in Fl and in the current market, you will make more money in the car business than you will in the mortgage business these days..... CA is a tough market and I don't blame you for bailing...

Congrats on landing a new job, it is not easy for "Mortgage Lenders" to land jobs right now. Good luck, I am sure you will be fine!

Paul,

Good luck. But sorry to see you go. I will try to keep things alive here in your absence.

Actually, I am seeing some pickup in business at the moment.

Paul,

I know East County is a wasteland right now. Keep your license current though, if rates can improve there will be refi opportunities. Good luck.

All the best to you fellow warrior! Hang on to the license if you could as I believe that it will become increasingly difficult to get licensed ... if brokers are every still needed in the industry.

Best of luck to you buddy. Self-employ is always hard and there is nothing wrong with 9-5 either.

Keep that data base close. All those people that can't qualify for homes anymore are still going to need a place to live, and that Nissan Armada is as big as a house anyways. And its mobile! ;)

Best of luck. Keep your contacts and past clients in your database for next year when the market comes back.
