Section 1 Module 1.1
Exam prep basics: If you understand the purpose of each
law, you are on your way to selecting the best answer
on a multiple choice exam.
There will be two obvious wrong answers. If you know
the purpose of the law, you will be able to spot these.
Of the two that remain, one will be a little bit better
than the other.
Exam writers do not write trick questions. The language
of the test questions look tricky because you are
being tested on law and most lay people are not use
to reading law on a daily basis. This is the only fair
way to deliver a 50-state exam.

Section 4 Title Insurance Module 4.3
How does a title company protect residential
homeowners and residential lenders?
Owner’s policy: Paid for by the seller, protects
the brand new home buyer. Policy is good as
long as home owner/heirs own the property.
Lender’s policy: paid for by the home buyer,
protects the LENDER in case of default. Lender
wants insurance that they will be in first lien
position if they ever have to foreclose on the
property. New lender’s policy each time the
homeowner refinances.

4. Monthly gross income is 8,333.33 Total housing
expense is 2,000. (PITI). Total long term installment
debt is $649 per month. What are the first and
second ratios?
2000 divided by 83333.33 = 24%
2000 + 649 = 2649
2649 divided by 8333.33 = 32%

Debt-to-income ratios
5. Monthly gross income is $18,750. Total housing
expense is $4295. (PITI). Total long term
installment debt is $3937 per month. What are
the first and second ratios?
4295 divided by 18750 = 23%
4295 + 3937 = 8,232
8232 divided by 18,750 = 44%
45

6. Upfront mortgage insurance premiums
An FHA fixed rate loan with a 30 year term requires a
1.75% up front premium and an annual premium of .
85%. The base loan amount is $200,000.
upfront: 200,000 x 1.75 = 3,500.
annual: 200,000 x .85 = 1,700
monthly: 1700 div by 12 = 141.67
46
Jillayne Schlicke
CE Forward, Inc. DBA NAMF
7. Total interest paid over loan term
Your client is borrowing $189,000 on a 30 year fixed
rate loan. His monthly P&I payments will be $1,241.73
He wants to know the total amount of interest that
will be paid over the life of the loan. Your answer is:
1241.73 (principal and interest)
x 360 (multiplied by the loan term. Hint: 30 x 12)
= 447,022.80 (P&I paid over 30 years)
– 189,000.00 (subtract the loan amount)
= 258,022.80 (and what’s left is the interest)
47
Jillayne Schlicke
CE Forward, Inc. DBA NAMF
8. Calculating Loan Amount
A homebuyer makes an offer on a home and wants to
make a 20% down payment so she can avoid private
mortgage insurance. What would the loan amount be
in this transaction if the sales price is $400,000 and
the appraised value is $395,000?
Whichever is less x 80%
395,000 x 80% = $316,000
48

9. Loan amount when financing MIP
A refinancing homeowner is selecting an FHA loan with
an upfront MIP that she would like to finance into the
loan amount. What is the final loan amount?
Base loan amount: 350,000
Upfront MIP: 1.75%
350,000 x 1.75% = 6,125.00
Final loan amount when financing the MIP =
Base loan amount + MIP = Final loan amount
350,000 + 6125.00 = 356,125.00

10. Escrow account in loan servicing
Borrower’s monthly mortgage payment breakdown looks
like this:
Principal = 1106.15
Interest = 606.15
Escrow account to pay real estate taxes and hazard
insurance = 203.19
What is the principal and interest payment (P&I) only?
1106.15 + 606.15 = $1712.30
What is the full monthly payment including taxes and
insurance (PITI)?
1106.15 + 606.15 + 203.19 =$1915.49
50
Jillayne Schlicke

11. Borrowers always prioritize making their car payment
first each month and then their second mortgage and
finally their first mortgage. How will a first mortgage
lender view this practice?
a) Order of payments makes no difference to an underwriter.
b) Order of payments makes no difference to an underwriter
provided the loans are always paid on time.
c) Underwriters are looking for patterns in credit behavior.
Making the first mortgage payment third priority is a valid
reason for declining the loan if there is a consistent
pattern of late payments.
d) Underwriters are looking for patters in credit behavior.
Making the first mortgage payment third priority is not a
valid reason to decline the loan.

12.New Construction
Sale price of the lot is $100,000
Cost to build the home is $200,000
Closing costs estimated: $9,000
What is the estimated completed value of the home
plus land?
100,000 + 200,000 =$300,000.
What is the estimated down payment if this borrower
would like to put 20% down?
300,000 x 20% = $60,000.
What is the estimated cash needed to close the loan?
60,000 + 9,000 = $69,000
52
Jillayne Schlicke
CE Forward, Inc. DBA NAMF
13. Purchase money loan
See course book for loan details.
265,000 – 13,250 = 251,750 loan amount
Next add together sales price and closing costs
265,000 + 4,000 = 269,000
Now take the above 269,000 and subtract out the loan
amount 269,000 – 251,750 = 17,250
Homebuyer has paid $800 up front for an appraisal and
put down $5,000 earnest money. We need to credit
this to the borrower. 800 + 5000 = 5800
Now subtract out the credits and we have the cash
needed to close the loan. 17,250 – 5800 = 11,450
53
Jillayne Schlicke
CE Forward, Inc. DBA NAMF
14. Calculate the down payment for the following sale:
Purchase price is $500,000
Calculate a 20% down payment:
500,000 x 20% = $100,000.
Uh oh, appraisal comes in at $490,000
Now calculate the 20% down payment:
490,000 x 20% = $98,000.
Note: Cash needed to close the loan will be higher,
but that’s not what the question is asking.
54

15. Calculating Loan-To-Value
What is the loan to value ratio for a loan amount of
$405,000 where the sales price and appraised value
of the property are both $450,000?
405,000 div by 450,000 =
90%
55
Jillayne Schlicke
CE Forward, Inc. DBA NAMF
16. Calculating Loan-To-Value
Borrower would like to avoid paying mortgage
insurance on a conventional loan and has
plenty of money for a down payment. Sales
price is $375,000 and the appraised value is
$365,000. What is the loan amount in order
to provide this borrower with an 80% loan-to-
value mortgage?
$365,000 x 80% = $292,000.

Discount Points
Note Rate: 5.25% = 1% Lender Credit. This can be used
to pay costs on a refi or purchase
Note Rate: 5.0% = Par
Note Rate: 4.75% = 1% Discount points paid by
borrower
_______________________________________________
Example: 100,000 loan amount
Note Rate: 5.25% = 1% Lender Credit of $1,000
Note Rate: 5.0% = 0 No cost to the borrower and no
credit given to the borrower
Note Rate: 4.75% = 1% Discount Points will cost the
borrower $1,000
57
Jillayne Schlicke
CE Forward, Inc. DBA NAMF
17. Discount points
The purpose of discount points is:
a)To allow lenders to charge a higher rate due to a low
credit score.
b)To allow the consumer to pay some of the interest
up front by purchasing a lower rate, in order to pay
less interest over the life of the loan.
c)To allow the borrower to obtain a credit from the
lender to cover closing costs, and reducing the amount
of up front money to close the loan.
d)To allow the loan originator to earn additional fee
income.
58
Jillayne Schlicke
CE Forward, Inc. DBA NAMF
18. Using the Lender Credit
Consumer chooses a slightly higher rate of 5.125% in
order to obtain a credit from the lender. LOs may use
the lender credit to:
A.Cover the closing costs with the lender credit
B.Cover the closing costs with the lender credit and
may also keep what’s left over as a bonus.
C.Cover the closing costs with the lender credit and
distribute what’s left over to the Realtor
D.Cover the closing costs with the lender credit and
may give what’s left over to the consumer in the form
of $14.00 gift cards to cover the monthly payment for
a while

Prepaids
19. Calculate the following pre-paid items to be
collected from the borrower at closing:
a) Homeowner’s insurance premium: $125/month for 6
months
125 x 6 = $750.
b) Mortgage insurance premium: $48/month for 3
months
48 x 3 = $144
c) Prepaid, daily interest $20.38/day for 15 days
20.38 x 15 = $305.70
d) Real estate taxes $145.33 per month for 4 months
145.33 x 4 = $581.32

Closing Costs
20. A buyer is purchasing a home with a 95%
conventional fixed rate mortgage of $104,500. The
maximum dollar amount the seller may contribute to
the buyer in this case is 3% of the sales price.
Hint: First compute the sales price then multiply by 5%
Loan Amount 104,500 divided by .95 =
The sales price: 110,000
Seller contribution: 110 x 3 percent = 3,300
61

Loan origination charges
21. A homeowner is refinancing and would like to pay
no more than 1 percentage point in loan origination
charges. Loan amount is 375,000. Your company
charges the following loan origination fees:
Loan Origination fee .50
Underwriting fee .25
Processing fee .25
Will you be able to serve this customer?
.50 x 375,000 = 1,875.00
.25 x 375,000 = 937.50
.25 x 375,000 = 937.50
Total $3750
62

22. Seller buy-downs
A homebuyer would like to have the seller buy down the
interest rate by contributing 2 percent of the sales price to
purchase discount points in order to lower the note rate on
the loan by 1 percent.
Sales price: $325,000
Loan amount: $292,500
Note rate at par is 4.75%
Borrower will have how much money contributed by the
seller? 325,000 x 2% = $6,500.
Purchasing 1 discount point to obtain a lower rate will cost:
292.500 x 1% = $2925.
How much will the borrower have
left over to cover other costs? 6500 – 2925 = $3575.

Financial crisis of 2008 led to:
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac being taken into
government conservatorship.
FHA eventually went insolvent as well, after absorbing
the collapse of subprime loans.
All three entities received a direct draw from the U.S.
Treasury.
As such, consumers asked for and received massive
regulatory reform: The Dodd Frank Act of 2010

Section 10 The Secondary Market
The secondary market consists of different entities that
purchase residential mortgage loans from banks and non-
bank lenders. Once the loan is purchased, the money
returns to the banks and non-bank lenders so they may
re-lend the money over and over again. This helps
guarantee an ongoing flow of mortgage money available
to banks and non-bank lenders and ultimately consumers.
Not all banks and non-bank lenders sell their loans on the
secondary market. Some companies hold the loans in
their own portfolio. However, the majority of loans you
will be originating will be sold on the secondary market.

Fraud for profit consists of systematic transactions by

significant amount of the funds associated with one or
more mortgage transactions. This type of fraud usually
involves multiple parties in various disciplines within the
mortgage industry, such as mortgage originators,
appraisers, real estate brokers, escrow closers, builders
and title companies. Fraud for profit usually results in
significant—if not catastrophic—losses to financial entities
involved in mortgage loan transactions and it is of major
concern to the mortgage industry

Red flags are inconsistencies in the information

mean that fraud occurred.
Lenders can help protect themselves if they can

Once the loan is purchased, the money returns to the banks and non-bank lenders so they may re-lend the money over and over again. This helps guarantee an ongoing flow of mortgage money available to banks and non-bank lenders and ultimately consumers. Not all banks and non-bank lenders sell their loans on the secondary market.
