NMLS SAFE MLO MLO Question # 24 Topic 3 Discussion

Under TILA (Truth in Lending Act), higher-priced mortgage loans (HPMLs) are subject to several regulations, including:

Lenders must verify income and assets to ensure the borrower’s ability to repay the loan (A).

Creditors are required to establish escrow accounts for taxes and property insurance for first-lien mortgages (B).

There are restrictions on prepayment penalties (C).

However, borrowers of HPMLs do not have a five-day right of rescission. The right of rescission is typically three business days and applies to refinances on primary residences, not to HPMLs.
