The MLA "applies to consumer credit extended by creditors to a covered borrower, as those terms are defined in this part."
And the following is found in the Definitions.
"(2) For purposes of this part, consumer credit does not mean:
(i) Residential mortgages, which are any credit transactions secured by an interest in the covered borrower's dwelling, including transactions to finance the purchase or initial construction of a dwelling, refinance transactions, home equity loans or lines of credit, and reverse mortgages;"
