Earn monthly residual income by referring MLOs to Innovative Mortgage. Join the platform, build your network, and grow long term recruiting income.

Introducing the Innovative Mortgage MLO Referral Residual Income Program

Most Mortgage Loan Originators work hard, close a file, get paid once, then start over at zero the next month. Even if you are great at building relationships and attracting other producers, traditional models rarely reward you for the people you bring into the company. That means you are leaving long term, leveraged income on the table every year.

Innovative Mortgage is changing that.

Our MLO Referral Residual Income Program lets you earn ongoing monthly residual income from the production of the mortgage loan officers you refer to our platform. If you are already networking, mentoring, or recruiting in the industry, this program gives you a real way to turn that effort into scalable, trackable income.

What Is The Innovative Mortgage MLO Referral Residual Income Program?

The Innovative Mortgage MLO Referral Residual Income Program is a simple, scalable way to build a long term income stream by referring licensed Mortgage Loan Officers to the Innovative Mortgage platform.

When an MLO you referred closes loans, you earn residual income each month based on their production. You are not managing their pipeline. You are not responsible for their files. You simply connect them to our platform and let our team handle the onboarding, training, and support.

This program is designed only for recruiting MLOs, not for borrower referrals. It is a true recruiting income opportunity that rewards you for growing the platform with quality producers.

To qualify for this income stream, you must be an MLO who joins Innovative Mortgage first.

Why You Must Join Innovative Mortgage To Participate

To earn referral residual income, you need to be part of the Innovative Mortgage ecosystem. That is intentional. We want you to experience the platform firsthand so you can confidently invite other MLOs into something you actually use.

When you join Innovative Mortgage, you gain:

  • Eligibility for residual recruiting income
  • Transparent, scalable compensation that is easy to understand
  • Advanced marketing and support tools to grow your business
  • The ability to build your own network of producing MLOs
  • A dedicated dashboard where you can track referred MLOs and your earnings

You are not guessing about your income. You can see your production, your referred MLOs, and your residuals all in one place.

You can learn more about becoming an MLO with us on the Join Innovative Mortgage page, and compare options on a Loan Officer Compensation page. Many MLOs also review our general About Innovative Mortgage before they make the switch.

How The MLO Referral Residual Income Program Works

The structure is intentionally simple so you can explain it in a few sentences.

1. Join Innovative Mortgage

First, you onboard as an MLO with Innovative Mortgage. Once you complete onboarding, your eligibility for referral income is activated.

2. Refer Licensed Mortgage Loan Officers

Next, you introduce licensed MLOs who are looking for:

  • Higher income

  • More flexibility

  • Better lender and product access

These can be colleagues, former team members, branch partners, or other professionals in your network.

3. We Manage The Entire Onboarding Experience

Our team handles:

  • Training and platform setup

  • Technology and marketing support

  • Ongoing questions and guidance

You do not have to run training calls or build onboarding systems. You focus on the relationship. We manage the process.

4. Earn Monthly Residual Income

Once your referred MLOs begin producing, you earn monthly residual payouts tied to their closed loan volume, subject to program terms.

More producing MLOs in your network means:

  • More residual income every month

  • More income stability over time

  • More long term wealth building potential

You continue to build your own production while your referral network compounds in the background.

No cost to join the program beyond being an MLO on the platform
