About the 7-Hour Course:

The course will instruct mortgage loan originators on a number of regulations that they will have to comply with while taking part in their mortgage loan origination activities. Rules, such as those implemented by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, are set in place to protect the interest and well-being of consumers who apply for mortgages to purchase or refinance their properties. To ensure that their business practices satisfy the regulations adopted by federal laws, mortgage loan originators need to keep current on the guidelines published by entities such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

The first part of this course will describe some of the more recent changes to federal laws. To establish a national standard for originating mortgages, rules were implemented in the Truth in Lending Act relating to determining if a consumer can actually repay the loan he or she is applying for. If a mortgage loan originator can successfully evaluate that an applicant can repay the loan, then the issued loan can be classified as a Qualified Mortgage (QM), giving protection to the mortgage loan originator. Mortgage loan originators taking this course will learn the criteria for a loan to be classified as a Qualified Mortgage, including the latest points and fees thresholds that need to be met. Also covered in this section of the course are guidelines on what factors are considered to be compensation, and who can pay compensation to a mortgage loan originator for his or her services.

The second part of this course identifies the importance of a mortgage loan originator to act ethically while conducting business with the public, and be experienced enough to easily recognize mortgage fraud when taking an application from a consumer for a mortgage. A short history of ethical legislation will be covered, along with an outline for a mortgage loan originator’s ethical standards of practice. Common mortgage fraud schemes will also be described, with included real-world cases of fraud that cost lenders millions of dollars.

The final part of this course will outline two popular alternative mortgage products: the reverse mortgage for those over the age of 62, and the 203(k) mortgage that can be used to rehabilitate and upgrade a consumer’s principal home. The specific requirements for each of these loan products will be detailed, giving a mortgage loan originator more information to better service their consumers on these types of mortgage products.
