Customer is obtaining a cash out on a rental they own (no refinance, owned free and clear). The purpose of the cash out is "Going to look to purchase another cabin or maybe find land a build oneâ€.
Is this vague purpose enough to report as a home purchase?
Rule:
• Home purchase loan means a closed-end mortgage loan or an open-end line of credit that is for the purpose, in whole or in part, of purchasing a dwelling.
o Multiple properties - A home purchase loan includes a closed-end mortgage loan or an open-end line of credit secured by one dwelling and used to purchase another dwelling. For example, if a person obtains a home-equity loan secured by dwelling A to purchase dwelling B, the home-equity loan is a home purchase loan.
Multiple properties with one property taken as security - If a covered loan is related to more than one property, but only one property is taken as security (or, in the case of an application, proposed to be taken as security), a FI reports the information for the property taken as or proposed to be taken as security. A FI does not report the information for the property or properties related to the loan that are not taken as or proposed to be taken as security. For example, if a covered loan is secured by property A, and the proceeds are used to purchase or rehabilitate (or to refinance home purchase or home improvement loans related to) property B, the institution reports the information for property A and does not report the information for property B.
