The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) applies to federally related mortgage loans, which include:
Loans made by lenders insured by a federal agency (such as FHA or VA loans)
Loans intended for sale to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
Loans from lenders that are federally regulated or insured
RESPA's goal is to protect consumers by requiring disclosures related to the costs of real estate transactions, preventing kickbacks, and ensuring transparency in the settlement process. It applies to most residential mortgage loans.
Other options:
County-related mortgage loans (B), state registration loans (C), and unified commerce loans (D) are not standard terms under RESPA.
