The training course will cover the following topics: the history of loss mitigation; the lender/investor/servicer relationship; general mortgage loan servicing requirements; loss mitigation options and qualification standards; best practices for counselor/realtor interactions with servicers; retention options; short sales; and real estate owned (REO) homes and properties. Participants will also learn about foreclosure fraud schemes in Nevada and resources to prevent them.
