Estimates are for illustration and depend on the inputs above; actual results vary by market, loan type, and business activity. Loan production and fee-based consulting revenue are illustrative and depend on your commission and fee model. Market size is estimated from your county's population (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS) and your state's divorce rate, and can be adjusted; if the county lookup is unavailable, a typical local market is used. Divorce figures: CDC/NCHS, 2023 (data not collected for CA, HI, IN, MN, NM, and a few under-reporting states are set to the national average; a national rate is used for those). CDLP® and Certified Divorce Lending Professional® are marks of the Divorce Lending Association.
