an extra $10 print fee. I have not printed loan docs in years. I got tired of being treated like a low paid servant long ago.
During the refi boom, I was too busy doing high profit, low mileage jobs to ever consider wasting my time and money doing loan signings. I notarized countless healthcare directives/Wills, 401(k) withdrawals, etc. all within a 3–4-mile (max) radius of my home. Still do it. No printing. No scanning. No Fedex/UPS drops. No T/C's. No evenings. No holidays. No Friday afternoons. No low ball fees. No dead beats. No nonsense. And try to take 7-8 weeks of vacation a year. I try to make the best out of a sub-optimal side-gig.
The only loan signings that I do are RON for Amrock, which take about 15 minutes including the walk from my kitchen to my office. The pay is not great, but the job is -easy. In September, I did 15 RONS. I assume that number will be crushed for the foreseeable future (as in years)
But I feel badly for those notaries who need money to pay the rent and thought 3% interest rates would last forever. Their "mentors" are advising them to spend more money on coaching, loan signing courses, advertising and videos. Good grief. |
