Can mortgage loan officers work from home?

Yes, in many cases, but with conditions. A mortgage loan officer must be sponsored by a state-licensed company, and unsupervised home-based origination is not permitted, so remote work runs through the sponsoring employer and its supervision. State licensing agencies also differ on remote-work rules, so what is allowed depends on the state and the employer.
