Does your client fall outside of the strict qualifying guidelines for an advertised mortgage? It's not that they can't qualify, it's that they fall outside of their box. This one-hour CE course explores loan options that are available for buyers who do not qualify for a traditional mortgage. With 28% of U.S. workers being self-employed and 57% of households having a credit score below 680, there is a tremendous market of "out of the box buyers" to assist. Loan programs that will be covered include:

- Bridge loans
- Loan options for self-employed buyers
- Asset qualification
- Loan options for investors
- Reverse for purchase

What and Why of Probate?
You'll learn why we have a probate process, the steps to a typical informal probate in Colorado, and at what point in the process a property can be sold.

When is it necessary to probate, and when is it not?
Not all properties must go through the probate process. You'll learn the implications and requirements of beneficiary deeds, deeds held in trust, joint tenancy, and tenants in common.

Personal Representative and Contract Authority-
Does your seller have the official authority to act on behalf of the estate? We'll cover the process of personal representative appointment and what needs to take place BEFORE signing contracts.

What special closing requirements are involved?
Whether the property was held as joint tenancy, tenants in common, or with a beneficiary deed, we'll cover the requirements necessary to properly transfer title for each scenario.

Common Issues to Avoid-
Learn the top misconceptions and mistakes so that you can avoid them.
How do I find property owned by estates?
We'll show you the free step-by-step method of locating the names and addresses of personal representatives who are handling estates with property that may need to be sold.
