This 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).
This course consists of three sections and a final exam
Maintaining Compliance in the Mortgage Industry
Ethical Practices and Common Fraud Schemes
Non-traditional Mortgage Products

Each year, the NMLS receives feedback from various agencies on problems and errors occurring in the mortgage industry.

Study Time: 2 clock hours (100 minutes of ethics, fraud, and consumer protection)
In this section we will review ethics in mortgage lending and how they affect the mortgage industry. We'll discusses ethical practices and consumer protection responsibilities of the mortgage loan originator, and outline various ethical standards as they relate to a compliance approach of ethical lending. This section will provide you with checklists of possible red flags of mortgage fraud.
The second half of this section will outline a variety of mortgage fraud schemes. Many of the cases outlined in this section cost millions of dollars in losses for lenders, resulted in property foreclosures, and caused stress for those who were victims of these schemes.

Reviewing various types of fraud that occurred in our industry may help you recognize it if a suspicious application ever crosses your desk.
