This course will provide a comprehensive overview of the regulations that Mortgage Loan Originators (MLOs) will need to comply with in order to protect the interest and well-being of both themselves and their consumers. To ensure that their business practices satisfy the regulations adopted by federal laws, mortgage loan originators need to keep current on the guidelines published by entities such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Please review the Course Syllabus for more details about this course.

This course has been approved by both the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System and Registry (NMLSR) and the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) to count towards mortgage loan originator license renewal and California real estate salesperson or broker license renewal. This course complies with DRE real estate testing requirements, which restricts licensees to two attempts at the timed 25-minute end-of-course final exam. A valid NMLS ID number is required to receive NMLS credit for this course.

If you are licensed as a mortgage loan originator through the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI), you are required to take a DFPI-specific course to renew your MLO license. This course does NOT include the DFPI component.

This course is new for 2023 and meets the SAFE Act's "successive years" rule.

Course Description

graphicThis course will instruct mortgage loan originators on a number of regulations that they will have to comply with while taking part in their mortgage loan origination activities. Rules, such as those implemented by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, are set in place to protect the interest and well-being of consumers who apply for mortgages to purchase or refinance their properties. To ensure that their business practices satisfy the regulations adopted by federal laws, mortgage loan originators need to keep current on the guidelines published by entities such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Topics and Learning Objectives

This course consists of four sections and a final exam

  1. Top 10 Federal Topics for 2023

  2. Ethical Treatment of Consumers

  3. The VA Home Loan Program

  4. Fair Housing in Today's Market

  5. Final exam

Total study time: 8 credit hours (6 hours, 40 minutes)

Module 1: Top 10 Federal Topics for 2023

Study Time: 3 clock hours (150 minutes of federal law)

Fair lending along with compliance to the law, established rules, and implemented regulations is everyone’s responsibility. When compliance failures occur, everyone, including the customer, loses.

The topics outlined in this module are mandated by the NMLS and state regulators, covering the more egregious regulatory compliance failures recently discovered through various regulatory examinations, investigations, and audits.

Module 2: Ethical Treatment of Consumers

Study Time: 2 clock hours (100 minutes of ethics, fraud, and consumer protection)

The ethical treatment of consumers and ethical practices in mortgage lending are a high focus of regulators and consumer advocacy groups. This module will cover ethics, including identity theft prevention, fraud prevention, and consumer protection requirements.

Module 3: The VA Home Loan Program

Study Time: 2 clock hours (100 minutes of non-traditional mortgage)

The objective of the Veterans Administration (VA) mortgage loan program is to provide long-term financing to eligible American military veterans and their surviving spouses, helping veterans purchase properties with no down payment. The program allows eligible veterans to buy, build, repair, retain, or adapt a home for personal occupancy as well as refinance an existing mortgage loan.

Module 4: Fair Housing in Today's Market

Study Time: 1 clock hour (50 minutes of elective topics)

All mortgage lenders and originators, and all others involved in mortgage lending, are subject to state and federal fair lending laws. To remain in compliance, everyone in the lending industry should fully understand these laws.

In this module, we will cover fair housing laws designed to protect consumers, your company, and yourself from discriminatory lending practices. Specifically, we are going to explore relevant provisions of fair housing and take a look at a few issues found in fair housing Law.
