HPML and escrow

HPML and escrow - 09/29/09 12:30 PM

I was asked a question the other day that I think I know the answer too, but I can't find anything to support it.

If we make an HPML between 10/1/09 and 3/31/10, we won't need to start escrow on those loans come 4/1/10 correct? Escrow would only be required for loans originated on or after 4/1/10? In essence, we have a period of 6 months that we only have to comply with the other restrictions (repayment ability, prepayment penalties)?

Nevermind...found a reference to this in the preamble to the final rule. Excuse my premature posting blush

In the final rule, the preamble before the actual changes to Reg Z, it states:

The final rule requires escrows for all covered loans secured by site-built homes for which creditors receive applications on or after April 1, 2010 , and for all covered loans secured by manufactured housing for which creditors receive applications on or after October 1, 2010.
