With less than two weeks left on the comment period on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s proposed rule on loan originator compensation and permissible fees, many in the industry remain confused by exactly how this massive sea change will alter the way they do business. The rule, which would take effect next year, would upend current loan originator compensation plans, require “no cost” mortgage options, make new anti-steering rules and create standardized qualifications for anyone offering a mortgage.
Find out how the new rules will change your business ina special Inside Mortgage Finance webinar. Our panel of experts detail the proposed changes as well as answer the many questions surrounding the new rules.
