Yes! you can be a loan officer in the state of Florida for multiple companies, however mortgage broker for only one...I even think you can be the principle for one co. be a mortgage broker for another, and a loan officer for as many as you want... Call the department and confirm...

not if you're wanting to do FHA. Can't work for more than one financial-type company at the same time.

Renee will not believe you, we had this discussion a while back and she thinks that you can work for one company on a 1099 basis then another company as W2 so you can originate FHA loans, and still get paid 1099 on all other loans. In Florida per FS 494 the principle broker is required to notify the State with a list of all LO's and licensed Mortgage Brokers in thier company monthly. There are Mortgage Comapany's that do not do it so it is possible if you did not want to comply with State laws that you could get away with it. If HUD finds out about it then you are in trouble with HUD.

It is not worth it to bend the law's to fit your needs. Find a way to work within the law's and you will sleep better at night.

I called the department and they say you can be mortgage broker for one co. and loan officer for multiple companies...if you hang your license in one co. and you are 1099 that is it, you CAN NOT BE A MORTGAGE BROKER ANYWHERE ELSE. But w2 loan officer yes, you can be in as many companies as you want, just call the department. Now you can be a mortgage broker(1099) for 1 co. and a loan officer(w2 for another). This is in Florida, most of the people giving advice are from other states...

Don't know who you spoke with, but I just check online and 494 clearly states that you can NOT be an associate of more than on mortgage broker business, mortgage lender or correspondent mortgage lender at a time.

I don't believe this is applicable. I believe the OP is a "broker", not "licensed officer" totally different guidelines apply.

3. Are there any employment restrictions?

Any employee of a FHA lender who earns compensation on FHA loans cannot have other employment including self employment and outside employment in the mortgage lending, real estate, or a related field. The most common related fields are financial planning and insurance. Their income earned on FHA loans must be reported to the IRS on a W-2. This restriction does not apply to employees of a FHA lender who do not do any FHA loans.

This restriction is in paragraph 2-9(G) of the Title II Mortgagee Approval Handbook 4060.1, Rev-2 at: http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/hudclips/handbooks/hsgh/4060.1/40601handbookHSGH.doc

If regulations are as they are in CA, yes, a broker may be an LO at another company. Can originate FNMA/Freddie, commercial, hard money loans, but may not do FHA. HUD does not permit FHA originators to have outside employment or self employment in RE/finance.

Neither Fannie/Freddie nor the DRE (or your equivalent state licensing agency) has any objections to a broker licensee working as an employee of another broker, so you are able to write any loans with the exception of FHA. FHA which is regulated by HUD, does not permit any outside affiliations with anything financial, not even insurance sales. If you want to do FHA, you may only work for the FHA shop. You need to inquire of HUD's regulations, not the department. Your licensing department does not regulate or enforce FHA guidelines and has no say about HUD's requirements.

Yes you can...as long as you never write FHA paper and that's probably not the best course of action in the current market.

What he said, delmer01. You can go work for another company and write any other kinds of loans, but not FHA. HUD does not want you doing anything RE related with another company if you write FHA.

You're just upset that you did not think of it first. LOL

Actually, it works quite well for new brokers that still want to eat. Setup your own shop and go to work for a 50 State Fed Charter as well.

Absolutely. A broker can send out of state deals to the charter/net branch and access lenders who he/she can't get approved with as a small shop and also do RE closings from their own shop (CA). The charter/net branch is aware of the existance of the other office and there really is not a conflict.
