When there is conditional approval to an applicant for a HELOC based on stated income, but the applicant hasn't provided any of the requested documents to substantiate the income, is this a denial because we are unable to verify income or approved not accept by the borrower?

When populating the collateral address for consumer closed-end, real estate secured loans (TRID), is there an industry best standard for WHERE we obtain this address from? I know that it must always include the zip code, and a location (if an address via US Postal Service is not available), but I'm curious if there is an unspoken standard of what document this is best obtained from, such as the counties property record card, the written evaluation provided to us from a certified appraiser, borrower attested to, etc.

I have a mortgage that has been approved, commitment signed and returned, all conditions have been met by the borrower. Borrower has now decided to withdraw. How do I code this? It is not a withdrawal, not a decline. Would it be approved not accepted?

Are there possible compliance violations with Regulations B & C and UDAAP if denial reasons are different on the HMDA LAR than what was on the Notice of
Adverse Action? For example: at the time of decline, the denial reason listed on the NOAA was "Other", but when the file was reviewed for HMDA data
validation, the true denial reason should've been a Collateral decline.

Two years ago we granted a new loan and took a first mortgage on a piece of vacant land as collateral. The loan is now going through a renewal. While completing the evaluation, we learned that the borrower; using his own cash, built a home on the property that’s encumbered. The way our mortgage reads, we have interest in ... all existing or subsequently erected or affixed buildings, improvements, and fixtures...
When we complete the valuation report, should the value of the home be included in the report and furthermore, if so, should the report be mailed to the borrower under Regulation B?
