Highlights
HUD is requiring that loan originators provide borrowers with a standard Good Faith Estimate that clearly discloses key loan terms and closing costs and that closing agents provide borrowers with a new HUD-1 settlement statement. New RESPA regulations were published November 17, 2008 and took effect on January 1, 2010. The "New RESPA Rule FAQs" were comprised from industry questions and are posted to facilitate implementation of these new requirements.
ConsumersRESPA
is about closing costs & settlement procedures. RESPA requires that consumers
receive disclosures at various times in the transaction and outlaws kickbacks
that increase the cost of settlement services. RESPA is a HUD consumer protection
statute designed to help homebuyers be better shoppers in the home buying process,
& is enforced by HUD.
