Exam Tip
Florida questions often turn on OFR/NMLS workflow, 20-hour PE with 2 Florida law hours, 8-hour CE with 1 Florida law hour, annual renewal, active status, and the SAFE National Test with UST.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- -Using generic federal mortgage facts when Florida OFR or Chapter 494 rules are being tested
- -Confusing loan originator, mortgage broker business, mortgage lender, servicer, branch, and processor authority
- -Treating Florida education, renewal, records, advertisements, trust funds, or OFR enforcement rules as optional
