Is there a final word on if a balloon loan qualifies for RESPA?

Thanks

A balloon loan, if for a consumer purpose and is secured by 1-4 residential real property, is and always has been subject to RESPA.

I misunderstood the question someone wanted to know. Is it o.k. to do a balloon loan on RESPA? If so, is there a prefered term?

Thanks.

I'm still not sure what is being asked. If the loan is a consumer purpose loan secured by a 1-4 residential real property you have no choice but to provide the required RESPA disclosures.

Are you maybe referring to the limitations for balloon loans in Reg Z in relation to HOEPA loans and HPMLs? If so review 226.35 and 226.32 and their Commentaries.
