We have a request to construct a building for the customer's business on the same property that contains their existing primary residence. Is this request "home improvement" for HMDA or simply a business purpose loan not reported on the HMDA-LAR?

I doubt that constructing a building to be used for the customer's business would be considered "home improvement".

I would not consider this reportable UNLESS the bank is taking the primary residence as collateral and then ONLY when it is refinanced.

We would take the primary residence as collateral, as it is on the same property at the newly constructed building.

The purpose of the funds is not to improve the dwelling or the real property (dwelling related).
