That’s very true, the market is very slow right now, but definitely not dead. Someone will always need to use their equity. In the new company I would specialize in refinancing only. HELOC’s and Cash-Out Refi’s only.

I’m not sure where you got the $750 from, $400,000 x .75% is equal to $3,000.

And yes you definitely need savings for this type of role, that’s why I’m considering the new company so much. There will always be a salary, it’s definitely not a lot, but it covers the essentials.

Oops...you're right on the number. Was thinking about 3 things at once and trying to decide whether to word based on $100k of loans or amount of loans for $75k of pay or average loan size or something... Then crossed wires in my head.

Refi is in the tank right now - anybody who bought more than a year ago could pull cash out and have their payment go up significantly, and most people who were paying attention refid into a <3% loan at some point in the last few years. Last year you could have gone through the existing loans and called them up saying "hey... We can put some cash in your pocket AND lower your payment", now the equivalent monthly payment has about half the buying power it had last year.

HELOC... Maybe? Though those are going to be much smaller credit amounts.
