Bond and operations questions often test lender and broker net worth, bond minimums and volume tiers, branch-office definition, branch manager supervision, DOBI annual reports, and NJAC 3:15 operational topics.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- -Using generic federal mortgage facts when New Jersey DOBI, RMLA, HOSA, or NJAC rules are being tested
- -Confusing company licensing, qualified-individual licensing, and individual MLO licensing
- -Treating New Jersey bond, net worth, HOSA counseling, annual report, or enforcement rules as optional
