These are written from the perspective of the professional industry participant, not from an outsider. This series includes text books on loan origination, loan processing, mortgage sales and marketing, regulatory compliance and business planning and management. In addition to attending New York University, Thomas Morgan has also attended University of Maryland - University College, University of the District of Columbia - School of Urban Planning, and George Mason University.
