And it is not even a surprise \u2013 we\u2019ve known about it for months! Loan agents are confused about the forms, small mortgage brokers are wondering how they\u2019re going to adhere to the changes (even if they can figure out what those changes are), mortgage banks are wondering about their responsibilities, and investors are concerned about both their clients following the guidelines and wondering if loans that fall outside of them will cause a new series of lawsuits. And will their systems be able to handle the new process?! Even when investors notify their clients about RESPA changes, they are quick to note that <em>their announcements are not to be relied upon as comprehensive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Brokers are, understandably, concerned. (Is that an understatement?) For starters, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hud.gov\/content\/releases\/goodfaithestimate.pdf\">the form is on HUD&#8217;s site<\/a><\/strong>. And remember that HUD is on your side: \u201cHUD announced that for the first four months of 2010, the staff of the Mortgagee Review Board (MRB) will exercise restraint in enforcing new regulatory requirements under the<em>Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA)<\/em>, due to take full effect on January 1. The MRB instructed its staff to exercise such restraint in considering an action against FHA-approved lenders who have demonstrated that they are making <strong>a good faith effort<\/strong> to comply with RESPA&#8217;s new requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mortgagenewsdaily.com\/channels\/pipelinepress\/12172009-respa-chase-cit-gmac.aspx\">more news on Citi correspondent, Wells wholesale, Chase Homeownership Centers, Caliber Funding, GMAC Bank correspondent, the Fed, rates, and joke of the day &#8230;\u00a0 &lt;&lt;&lt; CLICK HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/mortgagenewsclips\/qTBe?a=0-ZwvX-1cEU:gJETi1OHhg8:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/mortgagenewsclips\/qTBe?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/mortgagenewsclips\/qTBe?a=0-ZwvX-1cEU:gJETi1OHhg8:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/mortgagenewsclips\/qTBe?i=0-ZwvX-1cEU:gJETi1OHhg8:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/mortgagenewsclips\/qTBe?a=0-ZwvX-1cEU:gJETi1OHhg8:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/mortgagenewsclips\/qTBe?i=0-ZwvX-1cEU:gJETi1OHhg8:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/mortgagenewsclips\/qTBe?a=0-ZwvX-1cEU:gJETi1OHhg8:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/mortgagenewsclips\/qTBe?i=0-ZwvX-1cEU:gJETi1OHhg8:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/mortgagenewsclips\/qTBe\/~4\/0-ZwvX-1cEU\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 My wife asked me last night, \u201cWhat would you do if I won the Lotto?\u201d I said, \u201cI\u2019d take half, then leave you.\u201d \u201cThat is excellent,\u201c she replied. \u201cI won $12 bucks, here\u2019s $6, now get the heck out.&#8221; Life throws surprises at us all the time, and unfortunately for every single person [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86690\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
