Attend a Continuing Education Class prior to the Annual Meeting on June 23rd:
Title: Modular & MUBEC (1 Hour): The new MUBEC (Maine Uniform Building & Energy Code) is in effect. Does your business know how to comply with the new code? What exemptions do we receive as modular builders/manufacturers? Please plan to attend this informative course to ensure that your business is not only compliant with MUBEC, but to also ensure that you do not unwittingly adhere to code provisions that do not apply to modular homes.
Instructor: Andy Grant from Keiser Homes
The Modular & MUBEC course will begin promptly at 3:00 PM at Cyndi’s Dockside Restaurant on June 23rd.
Place: Cyndi's Dockside Restaurant 723 Maine Street

SAFE Act, Builder Financing, & Mechanic’s Liens (1 Hour):
The SAFE Mortgage Licensing Act, implemented by the Department of Housing & Urban Development, is designed to enhance consumer protection and reduce fraud by encouraging states to establish minimum standards for the licensing and registration of state-licensed mortgage loan originators and to establish and maintain a nationwide mortgage licensing system and registry for the residential mortgage industry. Did you know that builders who place a private mortgage (a.k.a. mortgage deed) on a homebuyer’s property can be considered a mortgage loan originator and therefore obligated to comply with the SAFE Act requirements (i.e. continuing education classes, exams, and licensing)? While this may not have been the original intent of the legislation, it is the reality we now face.
Aside from following the SAFE Act requirements to be a mortgage loan originator, what options do you have to operate your business in a legally compliant manner while still managing to protect your financial interests? The answer may lie in a simple tool: a mechanic’s lien. Learn how you can add this “tool” to your business toolbox. Not only that, learn how a mechanic’s lien could prove to be a safer, better alternative to mortgage deeds, with the added benefit of not needing to adhere to the SAFE Act constraints. Proper use of mechanic’s liens could also be of great benefits to any trade in the construction industry. Please plan to attend this informative class to learn more.
Instructors: David Pierson from Eaton Peabody and Tom Drew from Allied Home Mortgage
