Is your business prepared for the critical changes that mortgage originators will face under this new rule? As the implementation period begins for adapting your business practices to the extensive new rule, it is crucial to understand what's changed and how. In this interactive audio seminar, our expert legal panel broke down the new regulation for you and provided solid and useable steps for compliance. Who Should Listen?
The rule covers a broad range of issues, which were discussed during the show:
Do You Know... The Federal Reserve also proposed mortgage broker disclosure changes that were not included in the final rule. Why the yield spread premium was left out, how rulemaking is still going forward on that issue, and in what form it may return.

The final rule also establishes advertising standards and requires certain mortgage disclosures to be given to consumers earlier in the transaction.
