On August 13, 2009, HUD began issuing guidance on the revised RESPA rule in the form of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). The FAQs appear to conflict with the RESPA rule and other laws, such as TILA, in various respects. Know it all.

8. GFE Trigger • The receipt of an application triggers the need for a loan originator to provide a GFE. • A “loan originator” is a mortgage broker or a lender. • An “application” is the submission of a borrower’s financial information in anticipation of a credit decision that includes at least six items: • Borrower’s name. • Borrower’s SS# to obtain a credit report. • Borrower’s income. • Property address. • Estimate of the property’s value. • Loan amount sought. Know it all.

9. GFE Trigger Additional information can be required to have an application, but there are tolerance implications. A loan originator must provide a GFE within 3 business days of the receipt of an application. A “business day” for this purpose remains any day on which the offices of the loan originator are open for conducting substantially all of its business operations. (U.S. Bank Home Mortgage does not recognize Saturdays or Sundays as business days.) The period to issue a GFE once an application is received is not revised. Know it all.

10. GFE-Related Fee Restriction • Other than a credit report fee, a loan originator may not impose a fee on a consumer before the consumer receives a GFE. • If the GFE is mailed, the consumer is deemed to receive the GFE 3 calendar days after mailing, exclusive of Sundays and Federal holidays in 5 USC 6103(a). • Note, this is the specific “business day” definition under Regulation Z. • HUD FAQ: A fee beyond a credit report fee may be imposed after a loan applicant both receives a GFE and indicates an intention to proceed with the loan covered by the GFE. Know it all.

11. GFE Initial Availability • If there are two separate loans, such as a first lien loan and a piggyback loan, two separate GFEs must be provided. • When a GFE is issued, the GFE terms must be available for at least 10 business days, except for the interest rate and the interest rate-dependent charges, and the related loan terms. • The interest rate-dependent charges are: • The credit or charge (points) for the rate chosen. • The adjusted origination charges. • Per diem (or daily) interest. • There is no minimum period of availability for the interest rate or the interest rate-dependent charges. Know it all.

12. U.S. Bank Home Mortgage Procedures for Issuing the Initial GFE • The Broker will be responsible for issuing the initial GFE to the borrower. • Submit a copy of the initial GFE with the Transmittal for Early TIL. • The GFE will be reviewed to insure it was issued on the proper form within 10 general business days prior to the date of the 1003, or within 3 general business days after the date of the 1003. GFEs not issued on the proper form or within prescribed timeframes will not be accepted, the broker will be notified, and the loan will be ineligible for funding. • If the GFE is accepted and the rate is locked, USBHM will insure that the loan terms in the system match those on the GFE. If not, the broker will be notified and will be required to update the system to reflect the terms disclosed to the borrower.

13. GFE Tolerances • If within the 10 business day-period, or such longer period that the loan originator may specify, the consumer expresses an intent to proceed with the loan covered by the GFE, the GFE is binding subject to both tolerances on charge increases and exceptions. • For purposes of the disclosure, U.S. Bank recognizes Monday through Friday, exclusive of legal Federal holidays, as business days. Know it all.

14. GFE Tolerances • There are three tolerance categories: • 0% tolerance—no charge increase permitted. • 10% bucket tolerance—charges in total may not increase by more than 10%. There is no limit on the amount a specific charge may increase except for the overall 10% cap. • No tolerance—no limit on increases in charges. Know it all.

15. GFE Tolerances • 0% tolerance: • Government transfer taxes. • Origination charge. • Credit or charge (points) for the interest rate chosen, when the rate is locked. • Adjusted origination charges, when the rate is locked. Know it all.

16. GFE Tolerances • 10% bucket tolerance: • Government recording charges. • Charges for loan originator-required services when the originator selects the specific provider. • Charges for loan originator-required settlement services, title services, required title insurance and owner’s title insurance, when the consumer uses a provider identified by the originator. Know it all.

17. GFE Tolerance Exceptions • There are three exceptions that permit a loan originator to revise a GFE without regard to the tolerances: • Changed Circumstances. • Borrower-requested changes. • Newly constructed homes. • With a changed circumstance or borrower-requested change, only the charges affected by the changed circumstance or borrower-requested change may be increased. Know it all.

18. GFE Tolerance Exceptions • Changed circumstances include: • Acts of God, war, disaster or other emergency. • Information regarding the borrower or loan relied on in providing the GFE that changes or is found to be inaccurate. • New information regarding the borrower or loan. • Changed circumstances do not include: • Market price fluctuations. • Any information collected before the GFE is provided that is later found to be inaccurate • Oops, my bad. Know it all.

19. GFE Tolerance Exceptions • The exceptions for changed circumstances and borrower-requested changes operate the same way. • If there is a changed circumstance or borrower-requested change, within 3 business days the loan originator may: • Deny the loan (if applicable). • Issue a revised GFE, revising only the applicable charges. • HUD FAQ: When a broker and lender are involved, the 3 business day-period begins to run when either the broker or lender learns of the changed circumstance or borrower-requested change. • The general “business day” definition applies. U.S. Bank does not recognize Saturday as a general business day. Know it all.

20. GFE Tolerance Exceptions The newly constructed home exception is available when settlement is expected to occur more than 60 days after the GFE is provided. In such a situation, the loan originator may provide along with the GFE a separate, clear and conspicuous disclosure stating that at any time up until 60 calendar days before closing the originator may issue a revised GFE. HUD FAQ: If a use and occupancy permit has been issued for the home prior to issuance of the GFE, then the home is not considered to be under construction and the transaction would not be a new home purchase for purposes of the exception. Know it all.

21. GFE Tolerance Exceptions If a loan originator provides a revised GFE based on the changed circumstance or customer-requested changes, it must document the reason(s) that a new GFE was provided and retain the documentation for no less than 3 years. Know it all.

22. U.S. Bank Home Mortgage Procedures for Changed Circumstances • For each Changed Circumstance, the Broker must provide the following to USBHM within 3 general business days of notification of the Changed Circumstance: • Copy of the Revised GFE issued to the Borrower • Transmittal for Revised Good Faith Estimate Form • Written documentation supporting the changed circumstance • USBHM will review the documentation for validity and, if accepted, will issue a corrective TIL (if needed.) If not acceptable, the broker will be notified that the loan is not eligible for funding; or is eligible for funding at the terms of the last accepted GFE. • Rate locks constitute a Changed Circumstance.

23. GFE Form Substantially Changed • The new GFE form is 3 pages with 13 main sections. • Transition: • If the new GFE form is used, the new HUD-1/1A form must be used. • The new GFE form cannot be altered in any way. • If the existing GFE form is used, the existing HUD-1/1A form must be used. • The existing GFE can be issued through December 31, 2009. • The existing HUD-1/1A must be used for loans closed on or after January 1, 2010 if the existing GFE was used. • What if the existing form of GFE was issued before January 1, 2010, and after January 1, 2010 the GFE is revised? Know it all.

24. GFE Format The revised rule states that a GFE may be provided by hand delivery, by placing it in the mail or, if the consumer agrees, by fax, email or other electronic means. If the GFE is sent to the customer by electronic means, U.S. Bank Home Mortgage will consider it to have been placed in the mail for purposes of calculating customer receipt date. Know it all.
