Regulation Z requires mortgage loan originators to present loan options that are in the consumer’s interest and for which the consumer is likely to qualify. Loan options presented must be appropriate to the consumer’s financial circumstances, not just the highest rate or those with penalties.
“Loan originators must present loan options for which the consumer likely qualifies, and which are in the consumer’s interest, including a loan with the lowest interest rate, lowest points and origination fees, and no risky features if such products are available.”
— 12 CFR § 1026.36(e), Regulation Z
