New Rules Affecting Buyers and Sellers of Real Estate
Are you currently selling your home or shopping for a new one? If so, you should be aware that the CFPB (Consumer Fraud Protection Bureau) has new
rules that go into effect on August 1, 2015! These rules apply to all “closed- end consumer credit transactions secured by real property”, meaning
purchase money mortgages, refinances, timeshares, construction only loans and parcels 25 acres or less. The sale and purchase of vacant land, which
was previously considered a commercial transaction, is also subject to the new rules. Home Equity Lines of Credit, reverse mortgages, mobile home loans,
commercial transactions and private lenders originating less than 5 loans per year (e.g., Articles of Agreement) are exempt from the new rules and
forms. Read More >
