Description

Advanced mortgage loan processor training will give you the knowledge to earn a higher income. This course goes from theory to practical examples. Lenders are hiring mortgage loan processors by the hundreds!

This fast-paced course will go over the most fundamental tasks processors need to master such as: requesting a change in circumstance, being able to read and understand Loan Prospector findings, outsource basic processing tasks to third party vendors which will reduce your time on repetitive tasks and will allow you to focus more on providing the best service possible. You will also learn to calculate salaried and self-employed borrowers income quickly and easily with practice questions taught by the instructor. Besides that, you'll also review common calculations you will see every day in an exercise format. These realistic exercises will teach you how to calculate the debt-to-income ratio, loan-to-value, cash to close, borrowers middle credit score when you only have two credit scores or just one, plus, how to calculate all of these in one loan scenario. This course will even go over a real life conditional approval in detail just like you will need to do when you process loans for banks and lenders. If you're looking to start a career in real estate or mortgage and want to receive a salary and not a commission, becoming a loan processor is the right choice.

Main benefits of this course and of being an advanced mortgage loan processor are:

- Earn a great starting salary and possibly a sign on bonus

This course includes the contact information for 2 lenders that are currently hiring and need loan processors and other mortgage positions paying $40,000 - $100,000+ per year.

- Work remotely from home and have a flexible work schedule

- Become an expert on home mortgages

- Quickly and easily change careers into a high demand market

Once you start working as a mortgage loan processor, you can quickly move up to becoming a senior loan processor which are the highest paid form of loan processors. By completing this course, you will learn much of the knowledge senior loan processors have which will allow you to increase your income and potential for other higher paid positions within a bank, lender, or mortgage company.

The first section of this course will take you through three enormously important elements of loan processing: quickly running the debt-to-income ratio, loan-to-value, and calculating the cash to close for different borrowers. How to calculate a salaried and self-employed borrowers income. In the second section of this course, you will learn what lenders are the easiest to process loans with and what tools they offer to make processing faster. You will also learn what lenders are hiring and how to get hired by using some of the techniques which I have seen work in the past.

Once you complete this course, you will have advanced loan processing knowledge and a course diploma to show employers. A course diploma will be available to you when all sections have been completed at 100% which you can save or print.

Great value for the money!!! This is for anyone who might be interested in becoming a processor or as supplemental education on the job of a mortgage loan processor. The math examples are similar (not difficult) to what I learned in my MLO licensing course. You get to learn about the job of the processor. I did not learn about most of this in my MLO licensing course. I thought this would be a great supplemental course and it is totally worth it! This isn't a course on rules, regulations & theory. Instead, this is a practical course that gives on the job real-world examples & offers solutions, familiarizes you with various forms, discusses time frames for getting certain tasks completed and why, and demonstrates scenarios on using lender portals. Highly recommend. I will definitely rewatch it again and take notes!! There is a ton of valuable insight and information.

Understanding basic title docs when ordering title would really help this course. When I upload docs, I feel the UW gets irritated because Im uploaded title docs in different title doc conditions.

I love these courses by Joe Correa that are available to use here on Udemy. I am very thankful. These courses are packed full of great information and I love the way he very efficiently explains it all. Simplified and quick way to learn so much in such a short period of time. Excellent! I give it 5 stars for sure.

My apologies for being very honest- the content of the course is very general. The information regarding the cycle of loan is not detailed. I believed that I would actually walk away with something.

I highly recommend this course if you have been out of the Mortgage industry for a while and need an easy way to refresh your brain. Since completing this and the Loan Processor & MLO Mortgage Math: Problems & Solutions course, I am gaining more traction in my job search.

This course is great for new Processors needing additional training. Course structure is easy to follow and instructor Joe presents the material with enthusiasm. I would recommend

Good information, but many spelling mistakes. Looks thrown together. The teacher is just reading what's on the screen, not very engaging. Most disappointing: does not go into understanding tax returns and other forms of income, and how to use them to qualify a borrower.

I am a notary signing agent. I'm the last piece in the closing process. I am about to embark on becoming an MLO. This course is great so far. Straight to the point, with really good examples...the instructor speaks a little too fast, but no biggie, I just press rewind. Overall I'm pleased with my purchase.

I took both of his courses on Mortgage Loan Processing. As a new person going into this field, I found it very informative and easy to follow. There are resources that you can download for easy reference and his podcast is also very informative. I would agree that a course on the software used in this field would be a perfect addition. Thanks Joe for your guidance in the MLP field. Now, can I remote shadow you? :)

The amount of useable info for the price is the best I've seen. Wish list items would be more govy portal info and tests and quizzes with savable and reviewable scores. That being said, this is a "must buy" and I give it my highest recommendation.
