RESPA REFORM TRAINING Effective January 1, 2010
OVERVIEW In November 2008, HUD published its final rule amending Regulation X of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). The final rule includes significant changes to the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) and the HUD-1 Settlement Statement (HUD-1). The final RESPA rule along with the new GFE and HUD-1/1A forms, training guide, and FAQ s can be accessed on HUD s web site at http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/ramh/res/respa_hm.cfm. ACBN requires the new GFE and HUD-1 forms be used on all applications received on or after January 1, 2010.* Any new file or file in process that needs a GFE or re-disclosure of a GFE on or after January 1, 2010 will use the new standardized GFE form. New Definition of Loan Application Under the new RESPA rule, what constitutes an application is being redefined. The term application means the submission of a borrower s financial information in anticipation of a credit decision relating to a federally related mortgage loan, which must include all of the following: 1. Borrower s name 2. Borrower s monthly income 3. Borrower s social security number 4. Property address (not TBD) 5. Estimated value of the property 6. Mortgage loan amount 7. Interest rate 8. Product type ACBN will consider a transaction to be an application when the above elements are obtained for each applicant AND there is intention to apply on the part of the borrower(s). A loan transaction must meet the definition of an application before a GFE can be issued. GFE The new standardized GFE is designed to provide the borrower with more transparency regarding key loan terms, fees, and charges so borrowers may shop among lenders for the best loan. The main goal is to give borrowers more accurate figures as to the true cost of the loan at time of application and avoid surprises at closing. All charges are disclosed on the GFE regardless of whether the charges will be paid by the borrower, seller, or other party. The loan originator (lender or mortgage broker) is required to issue the new GFE no later than 3 business days after the application or information sufficient to complete an application is received. (See above definition of a Loan Application.)
The initial GFE distributed by any loan originator in a transaction becomes the binding GFE. Except for interest rate dependent charges, the loan originator is bound by the GFE for at least ten (10) business days after the GFE is provided (or longer if so specified by the loan originator.) There is no requirement that the borrower sign the GFE. No GFE disclosure is required if the application is withdrawn or denied within 3 business days of application. The loan originator may not charge any fee, except for a credit report fee, until after the applicant has received the GFE and indicates an intention to proceed with the loan request. (See ACBN Certification of Receipt of GFE and Intent to Proceed form.) Fees paid outside of closing will no longer be designated as POC on the GFE. All fees typically paid by the borrower must be shown on the GFE as if paid by the borrower at closing. All charges for settlement services must be placed in the appropriate categories on the GFE. RECOMMENDATION: Do not issue an initial GFE until all of the above mentioned items are collected on the loan application. Prior to a completed loan application, use a generic fee worksheet to provide an interest rate and fee quote to the borrower. *Pre-Quals/TBD properties are still acceptable at ACC/ACBN; no GFE required.
Instructions on Completing the New GFE The new GFE consists of three pages: Page 1: Provides important dates regarding availability of interest rate and settlement charges Summarizes key loan information and escrow details Shows the total estimated settlement charges for the loan Page 2: Breaks down all settlement charges into two major categories: Your Adjusted Origination Charges and Your Charges for All Other Settlement Services The two major categories are broken down into eleven blocks of charges Page 3: Provides information to help borrowers understand which settlement charges can change at closing (tolerance limits) Shopping chart provided to assist the borrower when comparing GFEs from other lenders

Using the tradeoff table details: This section is designed to make borrowers aware of the relationship between their total estimated settlement charges, interest rate and resulting monthly payment. Complete the left hand column using the loan amount, interest rate, monthly payment figure, and the total estimated settlement charges from page 1 of the GFE. The originator may provide the borrower with the same information for two alternative loans, one with a higher interest rate and one with a lower interest rate. The alternative loans must use the same amount and be otherwise identical to the loan in the GFE. Using the shopping cart table is a shopping tool for the borrower to complete, in order to compare GFEs from different lenders. The first column will be completed with the subject loan information.
CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES REDISCLOSURE OF GFE Except for any permitted tolerances, loan originators must be accurate when disclosing initial settlement charges to the borrower on the GFE. Without a valid changed circumstance that is documented, the originator and lender are bound by the amounts shown on the last disclosed GFE subject to any permitted tolerances. Only charges or terms directly related to the changed circumstance may be changed. The revised GFE must be issued within 3 business days of receiving information sufficient to establish the changed circumstance. The 3 business day requirement is triggered from the time of receipt by either the originator or the lender, whoever receives the information first. Documentation evidencing the changed circumstance must be kept in the loan file. The term "changed circumstances" means: Acts of God, war, disaster, or other emergency; Information particular to the borrower or transaction that was relied on in providing the GFE that changes or is found to be inaccurate after the GFE has been provided. This may include information about the credit quality of the borrower, new loan amount, program change requested by the borrower, the estimated value of the property, loan locked after submission, occupancy change, or any other information that was used in providing the GFE; New information particular to the borrower or transaction that was not relied on in providing the GFE; or Other circumstances that are particular to the borrower or transaction, including underwriting conditions, boundary disputes, the need for flood insurance, environmental problems, or additional conditions required from Title Binder. EXAMPLES: - If pricing changes due to a changed circumstance, or a borrower requested change, only the interest rate dependant charges and terms may change. This includes only those charges and credits in Block 2 which will, in turn, impact the Adjusted Origination Charges. - If pricing changed due to going from a float to a lock or due to a lock expiration, only the interest rate dependant charges and terms may change (Block 2 and the impacted Adjusted Origination Charges. )
"Changed circumstances" do not include: The borrower's name, the borrower's monthly income, the property address, any information contained in any credit report obtained by the loan originator prior to providing the GFE, unless the information changes or is found to be inaccurate after the GFE has been provided, etc.; or Market price fluctuations by themselves. EXAMPLES: - Block 1 fees CANNOT change, even with a changed circumstance; EXCEPTION: if the loan amount changes and a portion of the Origination Charge is a percentage of the loan amount or the overall loan program changes. ACTION REQUIRED: Upon the borrower s request for a change or loan originator s knowledge of a changed circumstance, notify ACBN within 24 hours by emailing redisclosure@acbnonline.com with the detail of the changed circumstance and request to re-issue a revised GFE. (See Request for Changed Circumstance form). A revised GFE may only be issued to a borrower by ACBN within 3 business days of the change and prior to closing where there exists "changed circumstances". APPRAISAL REVIEWS: Appraisal reviews are not always due to a changed circumstance and may need to be accounted for at time of initial GFE disclosure. See ACBN Appraisal Review Policy and ACBN fee sheet posted on the ACBN web site.
TOLERANCE LIMITATIONS HUD has created limitations which restrict the amount that settlement charges to borrowers can change between the GFE and the actual fees charged at settlement. These tolerance limitations are designed to help borrowers receive a more accurate GFE and to enable the borrower to easily compare the fees noted on the GFE with those on the HUD-1. The tolerance limitations are divided into three categories: 1. Settlement charges that cannot increase: origination charges (including broker fees), borrower's credit or charge for specific interest rate chosen (after locking in the rate), and transfer taxes. (0% Tolerance) 2. Settlement charges that can increase up to 10%: required services selected by the originator, title services and lender's title insurance (if selected by loan originator or borrower uses companies identified by loan originator), owner's title insurance (if borrower uses companies identified by loan originator), required services that the borrower shops for (if borrower uses companies identified by the loan originator), and government recording charges. (Up to 10% Aggregate Tolerance) 3. Settlement charges that can increase without restriction: required services that borrower shops for, title services and lender's title insurance, and owner's title insurance (where the borrower does not use companies identified by the loan originator); initial deposit for escrow deposit, daily interest charges, and homeowner's insurance. (No Tolerance Limitation) These tolerances are clearly described to the borrower on the third page of the GFE and carry over to page 3 of the HUD-1.
Additional Disclosures The new RESPA rules require loan originators to provide the borrower with a list of Settlement Service Providers. The Itemization of Fees and the Lender/Seller Paid Fees & Credits are not required by the new RESPA rule but are necessary additions based on the changes to the GFE and HUD-1. It is the loan originator s responsibility to communicate to the settlement agent all the information needed to complete the HUD-1. Settlement Service Provider List: For blocks 4, 5 & 6 of the new GFE, the loan originator must identify each third party settlement service required by the loan originator where the borrower is permitted to shop for and select the settlement service provider. Only one settlement service provider is required to be listed per service. If no service providers are listed, then it is assumed the borrower could not shop and fees will be bound by the tolerances. The borrower is not required to select a vendor from the list provided. Where a borrower is permitted to shop for third party settlement services, the loan originator must provide the borrower with a written list of settlement service providers on a separate sheet of paper at the time the GFE is issued. The list must include those services addressed in Blocks 4, 5 and 6 of the GFE. The list must contain settlement service providers that are likely available to provide the settlement service in the borrower's local area. The list must include the name, address, and phone number for each provider and with the estimated charge to be paid. Additional disclosure may be added to the list stating that the originator is not endorsing the service providers. Lenders may list their affiliate as the only service provider, but must distribute the Affiliated Business Arrangement disclosure. No standard format is required. (Point users: see Settlement Service Provider List with the 2010 GFE in Point as a sample format to use.) The content of the Settlement Service Provider List will vary depending upon which services the borrower is permitted to shop for. If the borrower selects a provider identified on the list, the amount paid for that service would fall within the 10% tolerance for that category. If the borrower chooses a different provider, the amount paid for that service is not subject to any tolerance restriction.
Itemization of Fees: Certain fees must be consolidated into a single block on the new GFE form and a single line on the new HUD-1. EXAMPLE: The total of all charges assessed by loan originators on the transaction (including lenders and brokers), except any charge for the specific interest rate chosen, must be shown in Block 1, "our origination charge", on the GFE and in line 801 on the HUD-1. ACTION REQUIRED: Since the individual fee detail will no longer be shown on the GFE and HUD-1, ACBN will require originators to provide that detail on a separate form. This form is necessary in order to correctly re-calculate the APR and test compliance with Federal and state high cost restrictions. (See initial Fees Worksheet in Point, formerly known as the GFE.) Although use of this specific form is optional, loans will be suspended if an itemization of the individual fees comprising the totals shown on the GFE and HUD-1 is not provided. NOTE: an Itemization of Amount Financed will not satisfy this requirement entirely as that form only provides the detail on finance charges. ACBN fees are posted at www.acbnonline.com => Member Info Tab (or, on the ACC Village). Lender/Seller Paid Fees/Credits: All charges typically paid by the borrower must be disclosed on the GFE regardless of whether the charges will be paid for by the borrower, the seller, or other party. Fees disclosed, but paid by others are still bound by tolerances. EXAMPLE: In order to promote comparability between the charges on the GFE and the charges on the HUD-1, if a loan originator pays for a charge that is included on the GFE, the charge should be listed in the borrower's column on Page 2 of the HUD-1. That charge must also be offset by listing a credit in that amount to the borrower on lines 204-209 on Page 1 of the HUD-1. Similar to the lender/broker paid fees, fees and charges typically paid by the borrower that are to be paid by the seller must also be disclosed on the GFE. EXAMPLE: If a seller pays for a charge that was included on the GFE, the charge must be listed in the borrower's column on Page 2 of the HUD-1. That charge should also be offset by listing a credit in that amount to the borrower on lines 204-209 on Page 1 of the HUD-1, and by a charge to the seller in lines 506-509 on Page 1 of the HUD-1.
Depending upon the number of fees paid by the lender / broker and fees paid by the seller on each transaction, there may not be enough lines available in the 200 or 500 series on the HUD-1 to detail each fee. In those cases, ACBN will require that detail be provided on an addendum to the HUD-1. For brokers, on a transaction in which the borrower requests a Lender Credit to be applied to closing costs in exchange for a higher interest rate, the premium pricing credit must be reflected as a negative number in Block 2 on the GFE and on line 802 on the HUD-1. ACBN will require clients to include the allocation of the premium pricing credit on an addendum to the HUD-1. This detail is necessary in order to correctly re-calculate the APR and test compliance with Federal and state high cost restrictions. New HUD Settlement Cost Booklet Shopping for Your Home Loan : Required to be provided along with the GFE either by mail or email on ALL purchase and refinance loans. New Construction GFE Disclosure: On New Construction purchase transactions, if settlement is expected to occur more than 60 calendar days from the time a GFE is provided, the Good Faith Estimate Construction Loan Disclosure must be provided along with the GFE in order to issue a revised GFE without a Changed Circumstance. If this disclosure is not provided at the time of the initial GFE, a revised GFE can only be issued if there is a valid and documented Changed Circumstance.
Fee Tolerances / Curative Process Settlement fees and charges disclosed on the GFE must remain within the RESPA tolerances both initially and throughout the process. (It is permissible for charges to the borrower to decrease.) Unless there is a valid, documented Changed Circumstance, ACBN is not allowed to exceed certain fee tolerances listed on the GFE as compared to the HUD-1. The ACBN closer must compare the fees reflected on the GFE to the preliminary HUD-1 prepared by the settlement agent prior to closing to determine if there are any differences. If there are differences that are in violation of the fee tolerances, the violations must be cured and the HUD-1 must be corrected prior to loan closing. In the event an error is not detected prior to closing/disbursement, Post Closing Review will complete the process to cure the error within 30 days of settlement.
Tips for Point Users In order to complete the new standardized GFE correctly, follow these steps: 1. Input all fees on the Initial Fees Worksheet (formerly the GFE) in Point; mark all PFCs and which party pays the fee. NOTE: if brokering and getting a YSP, input the YSP in compensation paid to broker field as normal AND add this amount to the origination field along with any other origination fee being charged to the borrower. 2. Complete the Truth In Lending (TIL) 3. Go to the NEW GFE 2010 and complete all remaining boxes that did not auto-populate from the Initial Fees Worksheet and TIL. NOTE: With every change to fee, PFC, or party to pay for the fee, on the new GFE you must press the CALCULATE tab at the bottom of the screen. IDEA: In field #9, you may want to consider adding Supplemental taxes not included on purchases. 4. Complete the Service Providers List, including amount, provider name, address, and phone number. NOTE: In order for the list of providers to print on the form correctly, check both the req d box brw box because the fee is required and the borrower can shop for the service, then print.
