Exam Tip

Ohio bond and record questions test 0.5 percent bond calculations, $50000 and $150000 minimums, $10000 extra-location amounts, 10-day judgment notices, 30-day cancellation timing, 4-year records, call reports, and unannounced examinations.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • -Using generic federal mortgage facts when Ohio RMLA, Ohio Administrative Code, DFI, or NMLS state-specific rules are being tested
  • -Confusing Ohio individual MLO licensing or escrow status with company registration and operations-manager requirements
  • -Treating Ohio bond, record, advertising, referral, remote-work, servicing, or enforcement requirements as optional
