This popular webinar will provide participants with a new Top Ten list of strategic initiatives that all mortgage bankers should be implementing in 2023. These very specific and actionable suggestions will help you and your team focus on what will increase revenues, control costs, and better manage risk, not only in 2023 but also every year thereafter. And they’re all things you can start to work on right away.

MBA State Commercial Mortgage Licensing Resources

The Mortgage Bankers Association has updated its state-by-state compilation of commercial/multifamily mortgage licensing requirements.

The updated resource is a no-cost, member-only benefit that is updated annually. It covers state requirements for servicing commercial/multifamily mortgages as well as requirements for making or brokering commercial/multifamily mortgages. For each state, the resource describes relevant state licensing requirements and provides links to applicable statutes and state regulator resources and contacts.

While not legal advice or guidance, this information provides a resource for MBA members who would benefit from a greater understanding of the mortgage licensing law framework for various states. We gratefully acknowledge Haydn Richards, partner at Bradley law firm, for his reviews and help to update the compilation.

This member-only benefit can be accessed here on MBA’s website.
