Business Cards, Signs, and HUD Requirements

One of the joys of being an FHA Approved Lender is making sure that I meet all of the legal requirements that are HUD (Housing and Urban Development) mandated. Things like Equal Opportunity Housing placards, Approved Lender signs, and a bunch of other things that you wouldn’t think you need to do in order to sell a loan. In these times of lender fraud, borrower fraud, the housing crisis, and the subprime mortgage meltdown, there are requirements aplenty before I can even open the doors. The Escondido Real Estate market anxiously awaits!

So, this week, the signs go up. Business cards and stationary are on order. Necessary inspections are scheduled. I actually have to have someone come by and inspect my office to make sure that I really do have an office. They have to see my filing cabinets and phone system to see that I exist!

I get to do a loan some day, right?
