Mortgage Broker License Training

Contrary to what you may think, license training is different from mortgage broker training. Mortgage broker license training has only one purpose - to help you get your license. That's it. It leaves out a lot of things that you must know to actually do the job.

Several states now require individuals to spend a certain amount of time in class learning all the state's rules and then take a test to get a license. This is what Florida mortgage broker training classes do. You go to class for a couple days and then take a state exam. If you pass the state exam you get a license. If you fail, you get to pay the fee again, and try one more time. The Florida mortgage broker training classes are designed to teach you the basic laws.

On the other hand the Texas mortgage broker training classes go a bit beyond and try to teach about the job. But definitely not anywhere near what you need. You can find out if your state even requires you to take a mortgage broker- licensing course by reading So You Want To Be A Mortgage Broker by Ameen Kamadia. It's available at http://www.mortgagebrokertraining.com/so.html. Not all states require individuals to have licenses. Some states only require the actual company to have a Mortgage Broker's License.

Mortgage broker license training is available in many forms. The most popular is the actual class. Most real estate schools offer mortgage license classes and so do some local community colleges. The better schools, will have a good idea of the questions usually asked on the state exam and can really give you a great deal of preparation to make sure you pass.

Mortgage Training Software

Mortgage training software is also available. And many schools now offer the mortgage licensing class online. You no longer have to go to a school. You can just sign on to their website, or download the mortgage training software and learn everything at home. If this is your first exposure to the mortgage world, I recommend you take the physical class. It might take longer, but you will learn much more by just talking to the instructors and your classmates.

Mortgage Lender Training

Mortgage broker training is different from mortgage lender training. As a mortgage broker, you use the lender's money. You arrange the loan and handle the customers' paperwork. But a lender has much more to worry about. There are federal laws to watch out for, quality control issues, underwriting, funding, reselling of loans, and a host of other items that make each transaction much more complicated for the lenders than for the brokers. And that is why mortgage lender training is much more complex. For most people in the mortgage business, you do not need to concern yourself with mortgage lender training. Even if you work for a lender, most of the procedures will be in place and you will learn as you go. But a good place to get more info about mortgage lender training is the National Association of Mortgage Bankers.

Mortgage Broker Training

Once you get your license, it is time to get some proper mortgage training. If you are lucky, the company you work for will offer it. But most likely they will not. Or what they do offer will be limited and incomplete.

That is why Residential Mortgage Loan Origination Made Easy was written. It was written to be a mortgage training manual for our own mortgage company. At the time, there were no good mortgage training manuals of any kind. Mortgage broker training was very hard to get. So Abby Kamadia of MoneyTree Mortgage wrote this manual to be a mortgage training guide for all his new loan officers. As a coincidence, one of the loan officers took it to a mortgage convention and lost it. A trainer of a very large mortgage firm later found it, fell in love with it and the rest is history.

Residential Mortgage Loan Origination Made Easy (RMLOME) is the only mortgage training manual you will need to completely understand this business. And since it is updated every year, you can be sure it is current with all the current laws and procedures.

But remember, this manual will not help you with your mortgage broker license training. You will get separate books from whatever school you choose to attend. Some schools do use Residential Mortgage Loan Origination Made Easy (RMLOME) as part of the curriculum. But it is not meant to be a license training manual. Get your license, and then get RMLOME for your real world mortgage training.
