I was just reading an article from Market Insider and they say that lenders posted an average loss per mortgage last year. Can you folks enlighten me as to how that happens?

The costs come from employees — salaries, benefits, etc.

The number of loans being issued dropped quicker than the number of employees dropped. It got to the point that they were only issuing 1.5 loans per month per employee.
