That’s the great thing about Capstone’s training, we teach you how to calculate everything using your own calculator.This means learning any mortgage software is going to be easy because you already know how the numbers work and where they go.
Lesson #3: Correctly Calculating The Borrower’s Income ( Easy to use and to learn)
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 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 can review the 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 #4 How To Read Credit Reports
Most credit reports are divided divided into four sections:
* Whose credit is being represented
* How they pay their bills
* Roll overs
* 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 #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.
