Are Hmda Reportable Cd Secured Home Improvement Loans?

The only way a CD-secured (or any other non-dwelling secured) application can be reportable is if the purpose is home improvement and the bank internally classifies such applications as “home improvement”. Non-dwelling secured purchases or refinances are never reportable. Federal HMDA reporting agencies, including the Board, CFPB, HUD, FDIC, NCUA, and OCC, agreed that starting January 1, 2018, all HMDA filers will file their HMDA data with the CFPB. Only dwelling-related home purchase, home improvement, or refinancing purpose business or commercial transactions are HMDA reportable.

A closed-end mortgage loan or an open-end line of credit to a borrower must be reported in the refinance family. However, since the full loan transaction provided funds to the borrower, then the final loan must be reported. A CD secured, single pay for one year loan for home improvements is not reportable as a home purchase loan or refinancing unless the credit obligation is secured by a dwelling.

Under HMDA and Regulation C, a transaction is reportable only if it is an Application for, an origination of, or a purchase of a Covered Loan. ISBs may select home mortgage, small business, and small farm loans that are not required to be reported under the CRA or HMDA regulations to be considered as CD loans. Most home-secured loans are included in HMDA data, but some, such as a home equity loan taken out for consolidation of credit-card, are not included.

In summary, the only way a CD-secured (or any other non-dwelling secured) application can be reportable is if the purpose is home improvement and the bank internally classifies such applications as “home improvement”.

Are home loans unsecured?

Mortgages are secured loans, as the house is used as collateral, which means if the borrower cannot repay the loan, the lender may put the home into foreclosure. Unsecured loans, on the other hand, are not protected by collateral and are a higher risk to the lender. Examples of secured loans include mortgages, home equity lines of credit, home equity loans, and auto loans. The lender asks the borrower what collateral they will offer up to back the loan, as an incentive to make payments. Unsecured debt, on the other hand, is not backed by collateral and includes personal loans, credit cards, and student loans.

The modification of the original construction loan into permanent financing is not subject to reporting requirements under Comment 2(d)-2, as it was not accompanied by a new credit extension.

FIs with 60, 000 applications and covered loans (excluding purchased loans) must report HMDA data quarterly. FIs have sixty days to submit their LAR, except for the fourth quarter, which has a deadline of March 1st for the year-to-date file. FIs must submit their LAR within 60 days of the end of the calendar quarter.

Are withdrawn loans HMDA reportable?

A financial institution reports an application withdrawn if the applicant withdraws it before a credit decision is made, before a credit decision is approved, or before the file is closed for incompleteness. This can occur if the financial institution provides a conditional approval specifying underwriting or creditworthiness conditions, and the applicant withdraws the application before satisfying all conditions. A preapproval request that is withdrawn is not reportable under HMDA.

A file is closed for incompleteness if the financial institution sends a written notice of incompleteness and the applicant does not respond within the specified time. If the institution provides a notification of adverse action on the basis of incompleteness, the action taken may be reported as either file closed for incompleteness or application denied. A preapproval request that is closed for incompleteness is not reportable under HMDA.

Lastly, a preapproval request is denied if the application was a request for preapproval under a preapproval program and the institution made a credit decision denying the request.

  • I’m a former realtor in PA and you have to learn to have a sense of humor. You’re working with many personalities and I’ve have had many clients communicate in different ways. There’s nothing wrong with that. A loan officer does not determine a loan approval based on personality, they run credit, require income veriffication, down payment verification with bank records showing where the money is coming from whether it’s a gift, the sale of a home or your bank account. Documentation is a must. First time home buyers are nervous and may say things that they shouldn’t say but has nothing to do whether a lender will approve or not. Nothing wrong with telling the lender you are shopping. It’s up to the lender to build a trusting relationship with their client, educate the buyer of the downfall of multiple credit reports being pulled that may effect their credit score should the buyer decide to shop. If they like you, they’ll use you, as long as your trustworthy.

  • I don’t think that shopping solely based on rate is a smart idea, everybody’s different and what we need to shop for is the lender that has the most experience in getting people with a similar situation as yours into a home..THAT is the goal…so we need a team that can accomplish that…and the first person we need to recruit is the lender…so make it a good one.

  • Nice article. If I apply for a loan from 3 lenders, will the first lender be placed in a better position for a good interest rate? I am asking because the credit score will drop after the first pull. I understand there is a window for all the pulls to be considered as one but what if the second pull is coming after the first pull has reduced your credit score?

  • Hey Angelo great articles man!! Question. I’m a 1099, I’m currently working on getting a loan for a new home. Do I have to tell the bank about a SBA loan I got? all I need from you is a simple “it’s not mandatory to disclose that” or a “yes, you must tell your lender about it” I’ll take it from there. Lol. Thank you so much bud for all your very helpful articles. Keep’m comin!!!

  • So I am planning to buy a Lot which is about half an acre I believe. And I’m going to need to Finance the house which going to be built on it. I have $60k down payment and my credit score is 700. I have been working six months straight on this new job making over six figures already. My question is since I’m new to this job and have been working six months. Will this affect me getting approved for the mortgage? I also want to use the land as collateral as well of course

  • I’m in the process of divorce. My ex doesn’t want to pay the mortgage anymore. He wants me to get ownership on the mortgage and on my name which is fare because I’ll live there. I want the mortgage under the same company. Should I tell the lender that I’m in this process? I’m in the title but not in the loan. Can you please advice? Thank you in advance.

  • Hey I had a question. What if I am applying for a loan and am pre approved but I am asked to guarantor for a family members apartment? Will that affect my chances for a loan?? Back ground info: I have good credit 700, have the deposit needed, and only have 10k in student debt right now. The apartment im planning on signing for is 1.5k a month. So with this information would I still get a loan or would it put me in the no go zone?

  • I inquired about refinancing my car two months before I got preapproved for a mortgage and it shows up as a hard inquiry on my report, I did not refinance it though because I chose to wait. Will this be a problem? Also I took myself off a credit card account I was an authorized user on due to the primary user being late on payments. how will this effect me closing? My offer was accepted today.

  • Question. If someone trying to use FHA for a condominium (non FHA approved established community) for a “single approval”. Is there evidence, that a clause in governing documents stating (seasoning) “Must be owner occupied unit at least 12 months prior to turning it into a rental” (this is a clause the gov docs may use in future to avoid investment purchases right away. It affects “FHA APPROVED” property approvals, but would it really affect a “single spot approval for a potential FHA loan? Why?

  • I’m not getting good responses. Although I have over 20% down and a 670 score. For the last 3 years my accountant (aunt) squeezed out all the exemptions she could which caused my net to be considerably lower than the gross….but I have the money! Are bank statement loans for self employed legit and fair to the loaner? Also am I required to list all my exemptions next year when I file? Thank you for your response

  • Awesome content! Subscribed 💯 I am currently looking to invest in Upstate NY. I live in NYC. Are there any loans available for UNDER $100,000 for multi-units? I am being told by lenders that they only offer loans from $100,000 and up; however I see MANY multi-families for UNDER $100,000 in Upstate NY (Syracuse). Any info would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you for your time.

  • My lender was horrible.. I never asked questions and he should have informed me lol he was lazy.. never updated me.. left me in the dark even when I did ask questions like left them on his voice mail when underwriting was going to be done or before that etc. he never returned my call. I know why, he wasn’t getting paid enough in his commission. but he has a fiduciary duty to me.. he even yelled at me. That’s fine ill see him around in the business lol I’m applying for real estate. he even yelled at me

  • Hey, I spoke to the loan agent around Oct 4 and he pulled both my husband and I credit for the fha loan, he said the credit was good and he asked what I was thinking for down payment and closing costs. I said I had about 14K to use from my 401K. I haven’t received a response since, should I look for another lender?

  • Question, So I’ve been self employed for the last 2 years doing light mechanic work, I average About $2000 a month income. I work Monday through Friday doing that. Saturdays and Sundays help out a friend doing Semi trailer Work and Welding, I make about 300 extra every week. Can it be a problem with the bank if my Tax Form shows that I make less than what I put in the bank? Or will it be a positive thing for the Mortgage lender to see?
