Separate yourself from the competition with NAMB’s most popular certification, the Certified Veterans Lending Specialist (CVLS).

Join NAMB & the Mortgage Professionals of Iowa on Wed, Dec 10, 9am – 5pm CT, in Des Moines, IA.

VA loans are an amazing benefit that veterans have earned, and it’s our responsibility as loan originators to help them take advantage of it. But to maximize that benefit, a veteran needs their loan officer to know all the nuances.

The certification training will cover all the basics if you’ve never done a VA deal before, but it’ll also dig into super advanced topics like:

  • Proving eligibility for everyone including reservists and surviving spouses
  • Tips for getting DU & LP approvals, and why manual underwriting isn’t something to be feared
  • The truth about VA appraisals and especially “Tidewater”
  • Ways to find double the number of VA approved condos
  • New rules around refinances and being ready for when that market returns
  • Uncommon issues like assumptions, EEM, Rehab, non-owner occupant co-borrowers, etc.

Cost is $199 for NAMB Professional and Associate members and $298 for Courtesy Associate and Non-members.

Immediately following the class, a test will be given and, upon passing, you will be presented with your certification and all the marketing materials that you need to promote yourself!
