Lesson #1:   How To Read Credit Reports

 
Most credit reports are divided into four sections:

* Whose credit is being represented
* How they pay  their bills
* Rollovers
* Public records
* Inquiries

When reading and interpreting someone’s credit report, it’s important to have the knowledge and skills to do so.
This training is going to give you the knowledge and the skills

 


Loan Originators & Processors

After taking a correct mortgage loan application (1003), the first thing the loan originator and/or processor need to do is to compare it against the person’s credit report. Checking names, residences, opened accounts, tradelines, credit limits, available credit, closed accounts, collections, charge-offs and other information vital to the outcome of the loan’s approval or denial.  Sometimes there are errors in a report.

The challenge is to read it carefully every time and understand how to interpret the information correctly.

Reading a credit report for the first time is very intimidating.  Lots of pages with data, tables, codes, contact information, addresses, payoffs …the list goes on.

Your instructor Kathy Lewis is going to take all the mystery and confusion away.   After completing this course, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence needed to read any credit report accurately.

 

Lesson # 2:     Correctly Calculating The Borrower’s Income 


Kathy Lewis’s presentation is easy to follow and is synchronized
to your online and downloadable manual with case studies.

Believe it or not:

One of the top reasons loans are returned or denied by lenders is the improper calculation of the borrower’s income. Regardless of who’s mortgage software you’re using, your software can’t look at the borrower’s income documentation and apply underwriting rules on what’s acceptable and what’s not.

Only competent originators and processors should review a borrower’s income and decide if it’s acceptable or not.

 

Overview of what’s covered:
|
* 20% Declining Income Rules: When you need to use them
* The allowable differences in combining w-2’s -1099’s- and expenses
* When and how to average different incomes over past years and months
* When and how to average commissions
* When and how to deduct business expenses

 

Lesson # 3:   Principles of Mortgage Finance


Open Our Table of  Contents

This is the core training lesson, which covers all aspects of
origination any type of conventional loan.

As a loan originator, you should know how to calculate every
computation on the Loan Estimate and Fees Worksheet without
the assistance of any mortgage software.

Including:

Explanation of Mortgage Programs
Federal Regulations and Compliance Overview
TRID/RESPA/TIL
Calculating PITI By Hand
Reviewing the Credit Report
Qualifying Ratios
Reading Rates Sheets
Reading & Calculating MI
Explanation of Prepaid Finance Charges (PFCs)
Preparing a Fees Worksheet
Preparing Loan Estimate
Prepaid Escrow & Taxes
Taking a Detailed Loan Application

Lesson #4:   Fees Work Sheet & Loan Estimate

Would you like to make an extremely positive impression on your borrowers?

Would you like to catch errors in your documentation before submitting to underwriting?

By completing this training and with practice you’ll be able to explain to any borrower how all their fees are calculated using a calculator.  

You’ll soon you’ll realize that softwares do make mistakes and if not corrected by you, can and will prevent your loans from closing on time.

FYI Managers:

At your next sales meeting pass out a dummy fees worksheet and loan estimate and pick a line item from it and then ask your people to explain to you how a particular line item is calculated.     Be prepared for some wild explanations!

Lesson #5  Understanding FHA Loans

There’s no such thing in the real world as FHA 101 or beginner FHA or basic or advanced FHA. You either know the FHA rules, guidelines, policies and procedures or you don’t.

Capstone Institute and Kathy Lewis have been instructing FHA loan originators and processors since 1986. We don’t teach theory or divide FHA loans into modules like FHA Part 1 and FHA Part 2 to charge higher tuitions.

Nor do we cut our training time and content into separate training for originators and another for processors because we believe everyone needs to understand the complete process from origination to closing.


No shortcuts with our training. Your online video program is synchronized to your FHA manual, handouts, case studies and covers everything you or your department needs to master to properly counsel your borrowers and to close your FHA loans on time.

Lesson #6: Understanding VA Loans

View our VA Technical Training Manual

Our Veterans have served our nation in the highest traditions and they deserve the best information available to them regarding their home purchasing rights and benefits under the GI Bill. The VA acts as the guarantor on the loan, protecting the lender in case of a default just like FHA does for civilians.

Kathy Lewis your instructor makes learning the rules and complexity of VA documentation and guidelines easy and we strongly advise both originators and processors to participate in this training.

 

Again there are shortcuts with our VA training.

Important Cost $ Comparison For Loan Originators To Consider

Typically most originators have to invest about $635.00 just NMLS fee and training before they can qualify to be hired. Add pre-licensing  training fees, and your NMLS  testing fee, NMLS processing fees, NMLS background and NMLS credit check.  It adds up!

The NMLS pre-licensing training was never meant to train you to perform your job as an originator. It was only meant
to make you knowledgeable about the mortgage basics so a lender or broker could legally hire you.  It’s up to you or your employer to continue your mortgage carrer education.   Some do it very well and others offers not so well!

Some companies have great internal training programs. Some companies and brokerages combine our CMS program with their own.  Others companies only want to hire experienced people with 2 or more years of experience because the managers don’t have the training time to invest in a rookie recruit.

Invest In Your Future By Completing Our CMS Program

Help mortgage recuiting  officers to select you for their initial phone interviews over others who have only completed their 20 Hour pre-licensing training.   Practically every hiring broker and lender will offer to reimburse you back your CMS tuition after 90 days of employment.  Some manager have even offered to repay after your first closed loan.
