Regulatory Issues Qualified Mortgage (QM) On 1/10/2013 the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued the Qualified Mortgage rule, which was a requirement of the Dodd-Frank legislation. In effect, the rule creates a set of minimum underwriting standards which, if met, provide lenders with some legal protections. A Qualified Mortgage is generally defined as: Product features: Excluding loans with negative amortization, interest-only payments, and balloon payments. Terms cannot exceed 30 years. Points & fees for loans greater than $100,000 are capped at 3%. Excludes bona fide third party fees such as appraisals. Includes maximum prepayment penalty. There are no maximum loan to-value ratios. 27
Regulatory Issues (cont.) Qualified Mortgage (QM) (cont.) Ability-to-repay requirement The lender must make a reasonable and good faith effort to establish that the borrower has a reasonable ability to repay the loan by verifying, from reasonably reliable third-party records, the borrower s income, assets, employment status, monthly payments on the loan in question, monthly payments on any other loans, other housing related obligations such as property taxes and insurance, other debt obligations, alimony, child support, monthly debt-to-income ratio, and credit history. Maximum total obligations ratio (back end ratio) set at 43% of gross income. For computation of this ratio, mortgage payments are to be calculated at the highest possible interest rate over the first five years of the loan and by assuming roughly equal, fullyamortizing payments. 28
Regulatory Issues (cont.) Qualified Mortgage (QM) (cont.) Dodd-Frank amended the Truth in Lending Act such that borrowers can file suit against lenders within three years of an alleged violation of the ability-to-pay requirements. In addition, a borrower can assert an ability to pay violation in a foreclosure proceeding, including against an assignee of the lender, without time limit. Safe Harbor for non-higher-priced QMs. QMs with interest rates no more than 150 basis points above the prime offer rate on comparable loans for first liens and no more that 350 basis points for junior liens are provided a safe harbor against ability-to-pay litigation. Rebuttable Presumption for higher-priced OMs. Rebuttable presumption is a weaker legal shield. Borrower must prove that lender failed to make a reasonable and good faith determination that of ability to pay by showing that residual income was insufficient to meet living expenses, including any recurring and material nondebt obligations of which the lender was aware at the time of consummation. 29
