the NMLS and can be licensed to your firm for use in obtaining
approval for your company's in-house courses. (Mortgage
companies, community colleges, vocational programs, community
development corporations and real estate schools)
The reader learns how to understand rate and point quotes, how to use a
financial calculator, how to make basic computations customers require, how to
understand loan programs and compare product features. The student
progresses through understanding loan specifications - Conventional Conforming,
Jumbo, FHA/VA and Sub-Prime program guidelines - to a practical understanding of
ratios, income, assets and closing costs, debts and credit history. This
is then placed in the context of the loan application - how to collect all the
required documents and disclosures and supervise a loan from application to
closing. Beyond the basics, students learn how to finance various property
types; condos, PUDs, new construction and investment property. A detailed
chapter on refinancing addresses the issues which most often confront the loan
officer in a period of heavy refinancing - 10 reasons to refinance.
Finally, understanding how loans are made in the secondary market and the basics
of interest rate quoting and behavior are covered.

Published since 1992, and updated annually, this 380 page textbook
was written as an answer to the "sink-or-swim" training methods of
many mortgage firms. The format is designed to give the newly
initiated loan officer/agent, lender, processor, or other initiate
the practical information they need to do the loan officer's job.
