Ask most lenders their number one headache, and the answer is usually keeping up with compliance changes.

In mortgage lending, just following the requirements of regulatory agencies and the law is often not enough.
Faced with ambiguous language and constantly shifting revisions and interpretations of key regulations, many investors adopt a more conservative approach to compliance. This requires lenders looking to sell their loans on the secondary market to not only comply with the law but to also understand and follow the additional standards investors require when purchasing mortgages.
In a previous post, we pointed to the significant increase in consumer lending that we’ve seen over the past 12 months.
