AllRegs Academy March Courses Available

Feb. 25, 2014 - PRLog -- AllRegs, the leading information provider for the mortgage industry, announces three online courses available in March 2014.

Advanced FHA Underwriting (http://solutions.allregs.com/product/300/advanced-fha-underwriting)

When: Tuesdays, March 4, 11, 18, and 25, 2014 | Time: 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm ET

The Federal Housing Administration continues to evaluate their guidelines and make changes to many of their policies, making underwriting these loans intimidating – even for seasoned underwriters. AllRegs Academy’s Advanced FHA Underwriting can help underwriters expand their knowledge and get up to speed quickly on FHA loans.

By the end of this course, students will be able to manually underwrite and take appropriate actions based on their credit analysis, understand and execute special underwriting circumstances, fluently underwrite any type of FHA refinance, and understand condominium approvals and complex property appraisals.

“My hope for the Advanced FHA course is to ‘add the roof to the house!’” said Course Instructor and Senior Underwriter for MGIC Hali Plachecki. “The course was designed to bring to the DE Underwriter some difficult issues that may not be a part of everyday underwriting, but with experience we are all somehow magically expected to know. Additional hands-on application of principals and mortgage credit analysis will hopefully instill the knowledge, comfort, and confidence to tackle advanced issues that often trickle down to an underwriter! Now, everyone will be in the know!”

Collateral Analysis: Reviewing Appraisals (http://solutions.allregs.com/product/303/collateral-analy...)

When: Wednesdays, March 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2014 | Time: 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm ET

For professionals new to the appraisal process, this is the solution for you. AllRegs Academy’s Collateral Analysis: Reviewing Appraisals provides an in-depth overview of the appraisal and the steps taken in developing an estimation of value. It is designed for students new to the appraisal review process including processors, junior underwriters, quality control staff, and anyone who wants to better understand the appraisal review process when making loan decisions.

“I hope to provide a slightly different view point on the topic,” said Course Instructor and Community Development Director Michael D. James. “I have been the salesman trying to get underwriting to approve a deal, and I have been the underwriter listening to the salesman’s plea to approve the deal. I hope to share my well-rounded perspective with the students.

Taking the Steps to Mortgage Compliance Regulations (http://solutions.allregs.com/product/254/taking-the-steps...)
