We have a borrower who wants to take advantage of the 6% rate limitation under SCRA. However, the borrower's spouse is currently in active duty. The borrower is the only name on the mortgage and she took the loan out prior to marrying her current spouse who is in the military. She is claiming that the limitation applies to "dependents", however, I believe the SCRA's coverage for dependents covers the Title III, not Title II which includes the rate cap.
does anyone have any contrary information? Does residing in a community property state change anything? I would think not, as she acquired the loan prior to marriage, however, they have both used the home as their primary residence during the marriage and the spouse's income may have been used to make payments. Not sure if SCRA speaks to this or not.
