Lesson #1: How To Read Credit Reports

Most credit reports are divided into five 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

Overview of what’s covered:
  • 20% Declining Income Rules: When you need to use them
  • The allowable differences in combining W-2s vs. 1099’s
  • When and how to average different incomes over past years and months
  • When and how to average commissions, overtime, bonuses

Kathy Lewis’s presentation is easy to follow and is synchronized to your 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 can review the borrower’s income and decide if it’s acceptable or not.

Adding up W-2s is easy – BUT!

How do you correctly calculate weekly, bi-monthly, overtime, commissions and bonuses, especially if they’re showing declining values?

Optional Bonus Course:
Fees Worksheet & Loan Estimate Retails $95.00 is now included no cost

Advanced Free Bonus Training Covering The Fees Worksheet and Loan Estimate.

We covered briefly the Fees Worksheet and Loan Estimate in the preceding class.

Now we’re going to take some extra time and really drill into every line item on both of these forms. Many loans have been lost because the loan originator didn’t understand fees and how to determine interest rates, and when questioned by their borrowers they couldn’t show how their offer was better compared to their competitors.

If your borrowers share with you your competitor’s offer, you’ll need to know how to show them your offer is really better or how to restructure your offer so it is the best deal.

With Capstone’s training mythology you’ll be able to calculate any part of the Fees Worksheet and new Loan Estimate Form in seconds using your own calculator. 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.
