Answer by : Nancy On Date 2007-06-12 19:08:08 The beauty of the mortgage business, or any sales business for that matter, is the sky is the limit. I personally know people who do 12 loans a year and make $40,000 and know people who originate over 1000 loans a year and make over $1,000,000 a year. It all depends on your commitment, drive, and determination. The income a loan officer makes comes from two sources on each transaction. First, they get a portion of the origination fee. The specific amount is determined by their pay plan or if they own the company. Second, they get a commission from the lender called a Yield Spread Premium based on the interest rate they offer the client. The lender pays this because they get to collect the interest on the loan for many years to come. Processors get paid either by straight salary + bonus or fee based ($300/file) depending on what type of business you want to have.
