Thanks Randy. Our affiliate title company only owns 1%. So I was thinking that the affiliate would not be an affiliate for tolerance purposes - only for affiliated business arrangement purposes? Maybe I am off in my thinking...
I think the tolerance issue will rely on the Bank Holding Act definition of affiliate (which should exclude the Title Company/Board Member). I think the affiliated business arrangement disclosure relies on the RESPA definition (i.e. 1%, etc.).
