Today at school they were offering a seminar on mortgages.  This seminar was free and put on by a local bank.  I thought it would be something to checkout as I am going to be a financial advisor one day – so it might give me a head start.

I showed up in the lecture theatre and was surprised at the number of people there.  I would say at least a couple hundred comprising of various ages: from young adults to people over fifty.  I sat down and waited for the lecture to start.

The presenter introduced himself as the branch manager of a local bank.  He introduced the concept of a mortgage, the way a person is approved or denied and the repayment options.

Then he moved onto a topic that most of us were unfamiliar with: how to go about a bad credit remortgage.  He explained about how a situation like this would come about as well as what extra criteria their clients would have to pass through to qualify for the remortgage.

After the lecture I talked to the presenter a little more about my interest in becoming a financial planner.  He gave me his card and I am going to talk to him tomorrow about a possible part time job to get me some experience.
