This course was designed to provide the basic essentials for those considering entering the field of loan processing. Because the demand for Mortgage Loan Processors exceeds that of Consumer or other Loan Processors, you will find this course to have an overtone favoring that specific direction. Nonetheless, the course does double as a generalized tutorial for becoming a Loan Processor in either application.
The objective of this course is to prepare you to enter the field of loan processing. To that end, you will get a bird's eye view of what that entails. You will learn the basics: what the role of the Loan Processor is, vital loan terminology, methods of loan processing, critical aspects of loan applications, credit report information, the standard loan process and mortgage loan process, steps involved in processing loans and mortgage loans from origination to closing, what a loan package consists of, how to approach reviewing a loan file, verifications, possible underwriting issues, closing the loan, and applying what you have learned.
By the end of this course, you will have a good idea of what a Loan Processor's duties are, what skills are necessary to succeed in the position, and basic essential knowledge for prospectively stepping into the field.
