Banks Win New Ally in Fight Over Mortgage Rules




From "Banks Win New Ally in Fight Over Mortgage Rules"

Habitat for Humanity believes the qualified mortgage rule could keep it from building and financing homes for needy people if the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issues a final rule that is overly strict on borrower credit scores, employment history, and down payments. Its concerns were raised at a House subcommittee hearing with CFPB Deputy Director Raj Date on July 19. Habitat wants the rule to include an exception for non-profit lenders or a broad definition of QM that will not affect the organization.
