Scenario: Consumer purpose balloon loan that was originally the borrower's primary residence and fell into the HPML category. The borrower no longer resides in the property and it is now a rental. Since the purpose has changed from consumer to business, do HPML rules still apply? Can we cancel the escrow account? FYI-we are still within 12 months of origination.

If the security is made up of separate tracts of land and only one of the tracts includes the first lien on a principal dwelling are we required to escrow for taxes and insurance on the other tracts of land?

We understood that the Debt to Income Ratio on these Loans were to be based upon the maximum during the first 7 years after consummation. Please Help.
