​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This course will instruct mortgage loan originators on a number of regulations that they must 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 supervisory entities.

Topics and Learning Objectives

This course consists of four sections and a final exam:

1. Top 10 Federal Topics for 2026

2. Ethical Treatment of Consumers

3. Non-traditional Mortgage Products

4. Final exam

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

Module 1: Top 10 Federal Topics for 2026

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

Licensed and registered mortgage lenders, brokers, and mortgage loan originators are required to maintain a consistent and current understanding of all regulatory requirements with which they are obligated to comply. This especially applies to individual mortgage loan originators who, in addition to their sponsoring company, will be held accountable for failures discovered through regulatory examinations and investigations involving residential mortgage loans that they originate.

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: Non-traditional Mortgage Products

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

Besides a traditional conventional loan product, 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 explain several non-traditional mortgage products, exploring other options available to borrowers.

We'll go over the Fannie Mae HomeStyle® renovation program, the Good Neighbor Next Door program, reverse mortgages, the VA loan, and Fannie Mae's new RefiNow™ program.
