​​​​​​​graphicThere are three important pieces of California legislation that those who are licensed with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) must be familiar with. The DFPI requires licensees who are renewing their licenses to review the California Financing Law (CFL), the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act (CRMLA), and the California Homeowner Bill of Rights (HBOR).

This NMLS course will cover each of the three legislations, starting with the California Financing Law. This module of the course will review the licensing requirements for a finance lender, the expected conduct of those who hold these licenses, the limitations on interest rates, and the investigative powers of the Commissioner of the DFPI.

The second module will review the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act. This module will outline the conduct required to maintain a license, the surety bonding and net worth requirements, prohibited fees and owner actions, and how the Commissioner can cite licensees who don't follow the law.

The third module will highlight the California Homeowner Bill of Rights, a law passed in 2013 to give some protection to homeowners who are facing foreclosure of their residential property. This law outlines seven provisions covering dual tracking, robo-signing, single points of contact, and more.

Topics and Learning Objectives

This California NMLS course is broken down into several learning topics. At the end of the course a 15-question final exam will be given. The topics included in this course are:

  1. California Financing Law
  2. California Residential Mortgage Lending Act
  3. California Homeowner Bill of Rights 
  4. Final Exam 

Total Study Time: 1 Credit Hour (50 minutes)

This course will prepare California DFPI-licensed MLOs to:

  • Define who is a finance lender, and the information that finance lenders are required to disclose to their borrowers.
  • Understand how the Commissioner of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) investigates finance lenders, and the penalties that can come from discovered violations.
  • Outline the conduct expectations of those who are licensed to originate or offer residential mortgage loans.
  • Generalize the bonding and net worth requirements for licensees.
  • Recognize the many prohibited acts relating to licensee conduct.
  • Identify the investigative proceedings and potential penalties that can arise from violations of the California Residential Mortgage Licensing Act.
  • Describe the important points of the California Homeowner Bill of Rights relating to dual tracking, single points of contact, and rental tenant rights.
  • Understand how homeowners and the California Attorney General's office can enforce the HBOR.

View Course Syllabus

​​​​​​​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 2024

  2. Ethical Mortgage Advertisement Practices

  3. The Fannie Mae HomeStyle® Renovation Loan

  4. Final exam

Total study time: 7 credit hours (5 hours, 30 minutes)

Module 1: Top 10 Federal Topics for 2024

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

air 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 Mortgage Advertisement Practices

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

Most, if not all of the regulations for the mortgage and banking industry are implemented to protect the consumer. That is what this module is about - consumer protection in advertising. Throughout this module, we hope to provide you a better understanding of the laws designed to protect consumers from untruthful mortgage advertising and understanding what you can and cannot do when advertising your loan products. Your proper understanding of these rules is vital when dealing with the public and promoting your services.

Module 3: The Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation Loan

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

In this next section, we will explore property rehabilitation loan products. Over the years, most of us have become familiar with the FHA 203(k) Rehab Loan. It was the loan program that many mortgage loan originators turned to when they needed a rehab loan program for their borrower client.

Today, there are other options available when it comes to rehabilitating a home for purchase and refinance that may more perfectly fit the rehab loan needs of the borrower. This module will introduce you to one such program: the Fannie Mae HomeStyle Rehab loan program. We'll explain the details of this program and compare it to the traditional 203(k) rehab loan.
