The Intersection of Pricing Concessions and Fair Lending
| Non-Member Price | $0.00 |
About the Event
With mortgage rates ticking down and spring buying season looking more promising, competition for origination is going to be fierce and lenders need to make sure pricing enables loan officers to compete. Whether its through interest rate reductions, closing cost assistance, or temporary buydowns, pricing concessions can be offered by lenders to address competitive pressures. While a common practice in the mortgage industry, pricing concessions must be done in a fair and non-discriminatory manner to comply with fair lending laws and regulations. Fair lending concerns arise when lenders provide terms that could potentially lead to discrimination or unequal treatment of borrowers.
