Will I receive a certificate??? Mortgage Broker

I worked as a loan officer at a local bank in 2000-2001.
I moved to Tennessee for grad school and worked as a loan officer in 2001-2002.

I moved back to my home town and started my own internet company and got my real estate license.

I bought a commercial building this month and want to start a mortgage company. Will the state (Ohio) allow me to be the operations manager or will I need to hire one???

Can I buy into an established company and start a seperate branch using that company’s MB#???

My building will be remodelled and ready to go as of November 15th… I have access to over 230 realtors that will do business with me on a regular basis…

Any and all advice will help a great deal. Thank you in advance.

Have you thought about just working as an LO, but with a high split? 90%+ ?

You will need 3 yrs of experience in mortgage.

Just curious, where in Ohio are you?

Cleveland area

If you do some research there are numerous netbranch opportunities in the Mortgage business.

Are you planning on concentrating in the Cleveland Market?

Yes, I plan on working only in the cleveland area. Ive researched the net branch opportunities. The information they give is limited. What is the process to get started as a net branch?
