Our bank is getting into more C&I lending. We are hiring lenders who specialize in this. Any suggestions as to where we can obtain guidance on best practices for SERVICING these types of loans; i.e. documentation peculiarities; UCC management, etc.?

We are a very small bank with 2 loan officers and the CEO. The loan officers deal with consumer residential loan requests as well as all commercial requests. My question is: can they receive incentive bonus compensation on Commercial loans only? i.e. a small percentage of the loan fee collected on commercial loans only.

If we rewrite a commercial loan with no new money, and in the process add an additional borrower, does this fall under the definition of a renewal, refinance, or restructure (under part 365)?

If a person is a grantor of collateral on a loan and is not otherwise a maker, co-maker or guarantor, would pulling a credit report on the grantor be considered permissible or would this be a violation of FCRAs Permissible Purpose rule as it does not relate to the consumer applying for credit?

When a Commercial Department is presented with an opportunity to provide a term sheet for a commercial loan - prior to receiving a loan application - is this request to be considered a loan application? Does HMDA reportable issue apply if the bank never received a loan application and there is no loan decision?

We have a member at our credit union that wishes to increase their home equity line of credit in order to purchase a rental property. The line of credit is on their primary residence, and would remain so. Would this be considered a commercial loan (and therefore require an originator with commercial lending authority), where the purpose would be to provide rental income? Or would it not, considering the actual collateral of the loan is the member's primary residence.

In Commercial Lending, an entity as the borrower does not require HMDA. Recently, my loan officers have been making the "usual guarantors" as Co-borrowers instead. Do I now need to complete this as a HMDA loan?
