Hi Ralph, I would look online at your county recorders website and see if you can get them online, if not, then I would go to your to their office physically and request the information.

Most of the information I found online for private money lending is related to lending the full amount for the house/renovation.

The screening can be tied right to an online application (which could be tied right into marketing / listing website) - making the whole process pretty painless.  

Find out if the team leader provides training, or if they rely on the online courses for training.  

I suppose a lot of this will depend in part on what I'm able to find on line as far as opportunities.

Personally, I chose an online school for licensing, the School of Hard Knocks and a mentoring relationship with my principal broker/brokerage (when I have a question I ask it), and as a reward I am learning really fast.

BP also provides free online videos and educational courses for you to watch and learn from.

Most of the online classes require frequent authentication to note that you are spending the required time on the material so audiobooks may not be an option.
