Mortgage loan company bond cost
The New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department requires mortgage loan companies to post corporate surety bonds. The required bond amount is based on the total dollar amount of mortgage loans originated by the licensee annually.
Some surety underwriting companies require current business financials and a personal financial statement to underwrite this bond, so having these documents handy will expedite the bonding process and could help you qualify for a lower premium rate.
