Coding a Cash-out Refi to Buy a Rental
11/06/2022
This is about HMDA reporting for Loan Purposes under 1003.4(a)(3)-6. I think I might am being too literal in my understanding of home purchase. A customer is getting a loan, using their primary residence as a collateral, making this a refinance. The cash out portion will be funding is to purchase another property as investment rental. Our line of business is stating this would then be a home purchase because "Purchase" trumps refi. I do not agree. I feel that because they are using the refi loan as the source of funds it stays as a refi. If they were using the other property as collateral then I would agree. In that case it would be a home purchase because they are buying the collateral with the loan. How should this be coded for HMDA?
