-
8 Hour Course
- $89.00
Every licensed and registered mortgage loan originator (MLO) in New Jersey must complete eight hours of standard renewal education per year. Our course contains four comprehensive modules that provide training on relevant topics.
The first module covers nationwide mortgage loan and MLO regulations. It includes a review of the SAFE Act, Regulation Z, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), focusing on 10 common violations identified by the Multi-State Mortgage Committee as mandatory topics for the 2024 core continuing education classes.
The second module centers on ethics and consumer protection with a focus on business and the responsibilities of financial professionals. Then, we talk about consumer protection under the ECOA and the importance of fair lending practices. We conclude with mortgage fraud in the United States and techniques to help identify and stop lending schemes and other forms of fraud.
The third module explores the risks of non-traditional mortgage options compared to the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage loan. Next, we dive into counseling requirements, adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), reverse mortgages, high-cost loans, and information on lending standards. Last, we’ll discuss alternative loan options including government programs and owner financing.
Module four discusses the significance of renovation mortgage loans. The focus is on Fannie Mae HomeStyle® and FHA 203(k) renovation loans.
Each module will end with a quiz. Students will read a short case scenario and then answer questions related to the scenario. The course will conclude with a 25-question final exam.
