This is a commercial/multifamily series course, a component of the Level I Commercial Servicing Certificate Program.

Life Cycle of CMF Loans guides the servicing professional through the life cycle of a commercial/multifamily loan. It begins with an introduction of basic concepts related to commercial/multifamily lending, including an overview of the lending cycle, key parties involved in the lending process, property types and characteristics, property performance, loan types and features, and ethics.

From there the series examines the application, underwriting, approval, loan documentation, and closing processes; with particular emphasis on the relevance of each phase to the servicer. Finally, the series addresses loan servicing and the sale/securitization of the loan including servicing functions: loan boarding, asset management, remittance and reporting, and managing loan defaults.
