This 11 hour package for mortgage loan originators in New York is designed to provide all of the mandatory education needed to renew your MLO license. This course is broken down into 6 modules. Each module contains:
- A section of training
- An activity in which students will read a short scenario and then answer questions about the scenario
- A quiz that consists of five questions
The first module of the course is about sweeping laws and rules that apply to mortgage loans and mortgage loan originators across the country. A review of the SAFE Act, NMLS registration, an overview of state licensing standards, Regulation Z, and Integrated Mortgage Disclosures will make the bulk of the module.
The second module deals with ethical considerations and consumer protection. Identity theft prevention and safeguarding client data start us off. Then, topics related to the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act take center stage. Several case studies will be presented, as will other recommendations on compliance with such laws as Regulation N. Fair lending practices and balancing one’s business aspirations with the health of the market are emphasized.
The third module examines non-traditional mortgage loan products like adjustable rate mortgages and reverse mortgages. Federal Housing Administration updates are first, then the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program is featured, along with its changes. Various other types of loans and financing options are considered, including government programs, high-cost loans and their requirements, and portfolio loans.
Finally, the fourth module focuses on mortgage markets and the Federal Reserve System. Students will review general concepts, conventional and unconventional loan types, then, as lead-in to the discussion and historical overview of the Federal Reserve System, we'll cover financial markets and sources of home financing.
A final exam will ask 25 questions randomly drawn from the general education portion of the package.
The first module of the state-specific course is concerned with the overall regulatory framework. This module will start with a look at the SAFE Act and regulatory agencies that influence MLOs in New York. The module will then examine the responsibilities of MLOs with special focus on licensing requirements, surety bonds, and restrictions. Topics such as the proper handling of consumer credit information, useful definitions, duties prescribed to the MLO and originating entity they work for independently, and disclosure are also covered here.
The second module goes in-depth into the Home Equity Theft Protection Act as it relates to mortgage loan origination and equity purchasing. Further responsibilities of mortgage loan professionals are identified, specifically in relation to New York’s Real Property Law, required pre-foreclosure notice for borrowers, and "zombie" property upkeep. We will then see a real-world example with analysis and what students should take away from the discussion. The course concludes with an overview of COVID-19-realted legislation that impacts the mortgage industry.
An additional 25 question final exam about the state modules will finish off this package.
