Take the NotRot class. Start reading this forum; other participants will shortly post and tell you what messages to start with. Be darned sure you know what you're doing before you attempt any loan signings.

I purchased the Advanced Notary Signing Agent Training Course from NR and the NNA's Complete Handbook of Loan Documents and Transactions. The latter was very helpful, but the NR binder was even more so than that.

I'm still debating on signing up for the Notary2Pro online classes just to reinforce what I already know since knowledge is never a bad thing (especially from someone well versed in the subject matter).

Either check out Notaty2Pro for online training or the guide sold here on Notary Rotary for offline training. Forget that company that can't be named here, but whose initials start with NNA....

Also, understand that NO course is going to get into the specifics of what your state requires. You're on your own for that. Texas has laws regarding the signing of home equity loans - unlike other real estate loans, they must be signed either at a law office or at a Title Company, so you need to be aware of that. No course you take is going to tell you that.

I'm also in the DFW area - Grapevine, to be exact. Don't do loan signings anymore, so you're not my competition. Fell free to send me a PM if you need any help.
