If you are currently in either the financial services or real estate industry, consider loss mitigation training to supplement your income. The unsteady real estate market is hampering home sales. Stricter financial requirements for anyone seeking credit have decreased the amount of earnings potential in financial services. So, consider parlaying your experience into a career that will help homeowners and lenders. Real estate brokers, loan officers and mortgage brokers are ideal candidates to offer loss mitigation services. They already have some familiarity with foreclosure proceedings and have accessed to potential properties and clients. If you are not interested in getting directly involved in the process, consider referring business to legitimate loss mitigation companies. You can still earn a commission and perform a valuable service to your client.
