On Consumer's Back


CFPB's Proposed Amendment to TRID Disclosures Impact Lenders
Oh NO MR BILL 
We are going to hit you on the back side of the head, again
3 working days to Wait for LE, 
three more to lock, 
three more for final CD 
but escrow has to massage the numbers two days 
so minimum Federal requirement for closing a loan in perfect conditions is nine working days
 BUT
lender has to pay for appraisal re-inspection, any interest rate increases, seller
can't give last minute credits, no add ins of repairs at the end. 
Mine government at work....
or not as the case may be Mr. Bill don't worry we'll get you into a home.

Mortgage lenders fear violating the disclosure requirements of the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule ("TRID" or "Rule"). 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") provided informal guidance on certain issues prior to the October 2015 effective date of the Rule, ambiguities in the Rule remain that impact accurate delivery of the Loan Estimate ("LE") and Closing Disclosure ("CD") in connection with applications for closed-end, real estate-secured mortgage loans. The CFPB recognized that regulatory amendments were necessary to memorialize this informal guidance regarding the LE and CD to reduce the risk to lenders of TRID violations.

On July 29, 2016, the CFPB issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") to propose a number of amendments to TRID that would formalize certain of its informal guidance and make other technical changes to the Rule. 
The NPRM does not touch on every issue that industry participants have raised, but it is a step in the right direction, indicating that the CFPB is sensitive to some of the challenges created by the Rule.
Although the NPRM does not provide all the cures that lenders would have hoped for, many of the proposals should provide some relief to them. As mortgage industry participants continue to anxiously await the CFPB's final regulations to implement these proposed changes
Pray the proposals  improve upon the challenges that lenders currently face in providing accurate LEs and CDs to consumers.

Note USDA requires the property legal location to meet their rural guidelines.
Some of the Counties above in California may have only a handful of homes that
meet USDA location rule. for example Orange County Irvine is listed but there are zero
residences in Irvine that qualify. Silverado Canyon is one rare example of property location
that may meet USDA rules in Orange County

This mortgage loan program is wonderful for rural properties. It was intended to
populate the more remote parts of America with solid homeownership

Mortgage Loan  Approvals
Freddie Mac Income changes and Asset changes.  


New requirements 2017 Mid year

 Freddie Mac selling guide section

Some of the current common reasons for using Freddie vs. Fannie are:
  • 1 mo. bank statement (vs. 2 mos. required by Fannie).  No change on this in July for streamline Accepts.
  • 1 year business and personal tax returns for self-employed borrowers (vs. 2 years most often required by Fannie). In July 2 years business and personal tax returns will be required for those businesses less than 5 years old.
  • Using K-1 income without it showing distributions.  In July Freddie will also require the lender to assess business liquidity before being able to use this income to qualify.
Some important changes to note:
  • Coming in July - When analyzing income over a 2 (+) year period, whether employed or self-employed, the trend and degree of fluctuation must be analyzed.
  • Coming in July – the loan LTV requirement for Assets as a Basis for Income will increase to 80%.  Currently is 70% LTV for both Fannie and Freddie.
  • Using business asset will require specific documentation requirements.
