CFPB Unveils Sweeping Changes to Mortgage Rules

Loan documents used to be fairly easy to fill out. Now they’re called loan packages because they’re so thick.

This will further injure the housing market, but that’s the purpose of regulations.

These regs are not needed. Get the Feds out of the banking business. We live in an age where you can get near instant transparency on any bank. Let the Feds set the simple capital ratios for lending and the market will do the rest.

Also, the CFPB plans to make some borrowers exempt from the new rules, such as applicants looking to refinance out of subprime adjustable-rate mortgages or some mortgages issued by non-profits that target low-income home buyers.

The new rules will take effect Jan. 21. Lenders have a year to fully implement these rules.

It was used to "overload" the Socialist Welfare system. It was never never meant to Help the populace...
it was formulated to destroy (the present) civil order and replace it w/ a Fabian Socialist Society...
Which can't / won't work; we tried that in the early 1600s in New England, it failed....very badly.
