Washington

Politics, like mortgage lending, is a thankless job 

The mid-term elections are over and many new politicians are getting ready to settle into new offices in Washington and many other state capitals, cities, towns and boroughs across the country. Political upheaval is often the byproduct of over-promising change and the lackluster delivery of the same. The new crop of politicians will learn this lesson soon enough, a lesson that most successful loan originators learned long ago. As they do, they’ll learn that the sweet smell of success that comes from winning at the polls often has a pretty nasty aftertaste.
