This course includes 11 sessions of video presentations, teaching you each concept that you will encounter when shopping for a home loan, comparing new construction features and benefits versus the pros and cons of buying an existing home.

Good information, however, it needs to be update. Thank you Mr. Tanner.
Virtually no information given in depth. Even when listing off information, the slide was a random picture. Would’ve been common sense to have some text information on the slides, especially with a list. Also doesn’t even cover all forms or documents during a particular step.
