Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the newly updated 2024 edition of The Loan Officer's Handbook for Success. I update The Loan Officer's Handbook for Success every year to ensure that you receive this mortgage training manual that reflects what is now required regarding mortgage policies and procedures, regulations and laws, and loan origination documents for originating and processing mortgage loans for the current year. That's always been very important to me. Now why, you may ask, is that important? Well, the mortgage lending business is quite dynamic with home loan origination polices, regulations and laws, and required home loan application documents changing all the time. As a result, there have been so many changes to the home loan origination process, within the past 3 to 8 years, that if a mortgage training manual has been written or copyrighted prior to 2020 then that manual is outdated. I would further add, that if a mortgage training manual has been written or copyrighted during or prior to 2016 then that manual is so outdated that, in my opinion, that mortgage training manual is not worth paying any amount for. So, if you are looking for a current Mortgage Training Manual and Resource for you and/or your Loan Officers - then look no further! Becoming a mortgage loan originator can seem like quite a challenge because of all the currently required loan documents, policies and procedures, types of mortgage loans, and regulations and laws.

Become the professional and financially rewarding loan officer you wish to be and learn what you need to succeed! Why obtaining a current edition is so important: The mortgage lending market is very dynamic, with important loan origination and processing documents, laws, and loan products and policies that can change each year. This training manual is edited and revised every year to reflect any changes that may have occurred since the previous year. This is so important. Take a look at the list below of some of the changes that have taken place just since 2010 regarding the origination of mortgage loans: Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (signed into law 2010) Ability-To-Repay Rule (become effective in 2014) High-Cost Mortgage Rule (become effective in 2014) The Loan Origination Compensation Rule (become effective in 2014) The Loan Estimate (replaced both the Good Faith Estimate and Truth-In-Lending Statement in 2015) The Closing Disclosure (replaced the HUD-1 Settlement Statement in 2015) The Appraisal Rule (become effective 2015) New and revised Uniform Residential Loan Application (become effective 2018) New home loan underwriting guidelines from Fannie Mae's Eligibility Matrix and Selling Guide (may significantly change from year-to-year). Maximum Loan Limits: for General and High-Cost areas (sometimes changes annually). If you are a mortgage loan originator then you need to be aware of the latest changes and originate and process your home loans according to those changes in order for you and your loans to be "In Compliance". If you see a mortgage training manual being sold and it talks about completing the Good Faith Estimate then you know you are looking at a manual that hasn't been updated since 2014. The Loan Officer's Handbook for Success is edited annually and currently reflects the changes that have taken place within the mortgage lending market up to and for 2019 and reflects what's going on and is now required within the mortgage lending market.
