About Proper Lending Group
Proper Lending Group, LLC is an active mortgage lending operation based in Houston, Texas. Proper Lending Group operates as a full-service lending company offering a wide range of loan products including government and non-QM programs and Hard Money Loans.
Proper Lending Group is currently expanding its team, looking to create a targeted, market-level outreach program designed to attach PLG to active residential inventory in specific Houston-area neighborhoods. This role is the engine behind that strategy.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional sales job. This is a ground-floor opportunity for someone who is hungry, self-motivated, and serious about building a career in mortgage origination.
You will be trained from A to Z on the mortgage origination process, how loans are structured, how borrowers are qualified, how deals are won, and what separates a good originator from a great one. Your primary job is to execute Proper Lending Group’s Preferred Lending Strategy in the field: identifying active residential inventory, building relationships with builders and realtors, and generating consistent deal flow for the company.
The right person will not just earn commission, they will develop a skill set that has long-term, high-income career value in the mortgage industry. The right person will be focused mainly on this strategy, however they will have the opportunity to learn the business on all levels.

Relationship Management

• Communicate PLG's value proposition clearly and professionally
• Coordinate with the PLG team on marketing material approvals and order fulfillment
What You Will Learn
PLG is committed to training this person to become a subject matter expert in mortgage origination. Over the course of this engagement, you will learn:
• How mortgage loans are originated, structured, and closed
• How to read borrower financials and assess loan qualification
• How to communicate professionally with builders, realtors, and borrowers
• How to position financing as a competitive advantage for sellers
• The full A-to-Z origination process from lead to clear-to-close
• How to become a licensed mortgage originator (NMLS) if desired
This role is structured as a paid apprenticeship. The income you earn from the commission structure is real and uncapped, but the knowledge and experience you gain is equally valuable.
