The Federal Reserve has just proposed the most sweeping changes to the mortgage provisions of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) ever seen. The major proposal would place new limitations on payments to mortgage brokers and loan officers, and prohibit originators from steering borrowers to mortgage products that aren’t in their “best interest.”
Find out about the Fed’s latest effort to rein in mortgage lending and how it will impact your business at a new Inside Mortgage Finance audio conference on September 10 at 2 p.m.
The Federal Reserve’s massive proposal is now out for comment and would require lenders to effectively warn borrowers of potentially risky loan features such as adjustable rates, prepayment penalties and negative amortization. It also embraces the notion that borrowers should be given an annual percentage rate (APR) that reflects most fees and settlement costs as well as some idea of how their rate compares to the average rate of a borrower with perfect credit.
