A broker question ---- If a broker prepares a GFE and then the bank also prepares one, because we are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of the GFE,and the bank's GFE fees are not the same as what the broker disclosed,which GFE is reflected on the HUD-1?

The lender is ultimately responsible for the GFE and HUD-1/1A. The bank needs to ensure that the ONE that is provided to the applicant is accurate. If the broker's is different, why? If your's is wrong, revise yours to be right. If the broker's is wrong, issue your own (correct) one. If neither is right, issue one that is correct.

I just visited their web site and now the FAQs say lasted update 9/3/09 and they are now 27 pages. I haven't had the time to see what changed from the 9/1 to the 9/3 version.

I got an email back from HUD thanking me for pointing out the incorrect link. It also said they would forward my comments bout the FAQ updates. We'll see if I get a response to that.

BTW - I think it's hilarious that this site http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/ramh/res/respa_hm.cfm says "Content current as of 2 August 2009"

I reviewed the 9/3/09 update to the FAQ's. Here's what's new from the 8/28/09 update:
Page 4:
GFE - Seller Paid items - added #2
Page 12:
GFE - Block 5 - added #4
Page 15:
Section 4&5 - Right to cure & tolerance violations - added #9
Page 17-18
HUD-1 - General - added #9 & 10
Page 18:
HUD-1 - 200 Series - added #2
Page 20:
HUD-1 - 800 Series - added #6 (this is the one they removed from the 9/1 update. Now it's back!) I think this is an incorrect answer and believed that's why they removed it. Grrr!

HUD has updated the link to the RESPA FAQs. http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/ramh/res/resparulefaqs.pdf

When you click this, you currently get the 27 page 9/3 version.

The link in my prior post takes you to the 9/1 version.

It takes you to the pdf link to open the latest version.

BTW, when I did this (to paste the link), I see there is a NEW version (9/4) and they bolded the new Q&A's to let us know what has changed. Yeah! They listened to my email!

Is there a new Settlement Cost Booklet that goes along with the new HUD1 and GFE?

With the new Reg X requirement to provide a GFE once we receive the six pieces of information how should lenders handle prequalifications? If your bank pulls a credit report in order to perform a prequalification you'll typically have all six pieces of information, so you'd be required to give a GFE.

Typically, a prequalification doesn't have a specific property - one of the 6 items necessary to have an application. No property = no RESPA.

If you do have all 6 items, you have an application and all RESPA requirements are triggered - including the GFE.

You don't necessarily have an application if you have all six items. The definition of application also includes "any other information deemed necessary by the loan originator."

Also, on the new GFE, even though FHA loans don't have a prepayment penalty, would you then answer "yes" to the question, "Does your loan have a prepayment penalty?" And how would you calculate the dollar amount of the maximum prepayment penalty?


Anybody?

Outside of the six criteria listed just what other information would you require before you would consider having an application for credit subject to disclosure requirements? Keep in mind RESPA does not address a "complete" application, it only addresses that you have enough information to begin your credit process.

I based my comment on the following statement from the final rule published in the Federal Register on 11/11/08 on page 68211:

“…at the time of application, the loan originator will decide what application information it needs to collect from a borrower, and which of that collected application information it will use, in order to issue a meaningful GFE. However, before providing the GFE, the loan originator will be assumed to have collected at least the following six items of information: the borrower’s name, Social Security Number, and gross monthly income; the property address; an estimate of the value of the property; and the amount of the mortgage loan sought. The borrower’s Social Security Number would be collected for purposes of obtaining a credit report. The final rule now defines ‘‘application’’ to include at least these six items of information. Therefore, under this single application process, a loan originator may ask for, or a borrower may choose to submit, more information than the loan originator intends to use to process the GFE, for example the information on a standard 1003 mortgage loan application form, but beyond the six items of information, the loan originator will determine what it needs to issue a GFE.”

This is true Amos, but it must be applied consistently and can't include any verification info. So back to Dan's question: what info do you need?

For starters, information such as loan purpose, product type and type of property would be helpful in preparing a GFE. I don't want to change our process. I want to collect all of the information for the 1003, so if, after providing the GFE, an applicant elects to continue their application, I'm all set. I understand I will need to set a policy that outlines what information out of all that I collect will be used to generate GFEs.

Because that is the regulatory requirement: "but beyond the six items of information, the loan originator will determine what it needs to issue a GFE.” HUD drew a bright line in the sand. If you determine that you need specific additional information, then you are going to "need" it from each and every applicant prior to proceeding or you may venture into a fair lending issue.
