Ensure every mortgage decision is backed by precise documentation and a full understanding of ATR/QM risk classifications.
This detailed session will explain the ATR and QM requirements under Reg Z. Learn how to properly document loan files, verify borrower information, and apply the key provisions that determine whether a loan meets QM standards. We’ll also discuss how QM functions as a risk classification rather than a compliance category, helping lenders align decisions with institutional risk policies. Gain clarity on how to evaluate terms, manage exceptions, and position your organization for sound, well-documented consumer mortgage lending.
KEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYS
- Underwriting and verification requirements consumer mortgage lenders must follow when underwriting a mortgage loan
- Legal classification of a Qualified Mortgage – it’s not necessarily a compliance issue
- Following your institution’s requirements as well as the regulatory aspects
- Ensuring your loan files are appropriately documented
BONUS MATERIALS
- Checklists, flow charts, and other helpful tools to ensure you understand the requirements from a practical perspective
- Helpful website links to available resources
WEBINAR DETAILS
This informative webinar will cover the chief requirements when underwriting a consumer mortgage loan under Regulation Z’s Ability-to-Repay (ATR) and Qualified Mortgage (QM) provisions. Learn how to appropriately document the loan file and demonstrate the verification rules that underpin these requirements. The QM provision is not necessarily a compliance provision, but rather a risk classification. It is important that mortgage lenders understand the distinctions, and therefore the risks in offering various terms and conditions. You must know the organization’s position regarding QM versus non-QM loans in order to make the appropriate decision as to what precisely to do.
