RESPA 2012: Prepare for Upcoming Changes - Register Today!

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act always has been the law everyone loves to hate. Regulators have toiled to enforce it and develop new rules, and courts have struggled to square the law with actual practices. Despite these past challenges, 2012 is shaping up to be a big year for RESPA. Join us at our webinar on May 17th at 2:30 pm to hear directly from the CFPB and industry experts about the big changes coming and the bureau’s proposed rule due in July 2012.

"Inside Mortgage Finance audio conferences are excellent sources of information on rapidly changing practices in the mortgage industry. The audio conferences show the best practices of other companies and what is actually working. This is the information I need to do my everyday job. I love getting down to the nuts and bolts of what’s happening and I pore over the transcripts to learn even more."

Poll

Are current mortgage underwriting standards too tough?

Yes, they don’t reflect current market conditions and need to be adjusted to allow borrowers with below 700 FICO scores and smaller downpayments to qualify for mortgages.
Yes, and something needs to be done to significantly reduce repurchase or buyback risk so that lenders don’t apply even tougher underwriting overlays.
No, the standards are appropriate given current risks and the major default problems the mortgage market has experienced over the past several years.
