Practically no rule in all of banking compliance is as frustrating as RESPA. From providing the many disclosures in a timely manner to figuring out what to put on them, RESPA is a daily challenge to anyone working in mortgage lending and compliance. We’ll also discuss the legal landscape of RESPA and identify where the risks and challenges lie. In addition, HUD recently issued a major proposal that would significantly amend RESPA in groundbreaking ways. In some ways it's 2002 all over again (the last time HUD tried a major RESPA revision). But learn about the changes to disclosures and timing - there are many new requirements in this proposal that would change your mortgage process in a major way. Learn how to stay prepared.
This 2-Hour Webinar Covers:
- Coverage of RESPA: what loans fall under the rules? What are the exemptions and exceptions? Helpful guides and flowcharts included
- Loans secured by vacant land and rental property
- Definition of “application” - how can this help you?
- Disclosures: GFE (including required providers), HUD-1 Settlement Statements, Servicing Disclosure Statements, and Affiliated Business Arrangements - the how’s, the when’s, the why’s
- Exactly what fees belong on the GFE? Which should be notated with "POC"?
- Timing of disclosures: the most common violation of RESPA and how to avoid it
- Anti-kickback rules (section 8): what you can and should not do, plus new activity in this area
- HUD’s latest pronouncements on Section 8 and future expectations of major proposed changes
