The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) final rule on mortgage loan originator compensation makes impactful changes regarding how loan originators are paid and how they qualify for their jobs. The rule implements Dodd-Frank's loan originator compensation provisions and parts of this new regulation take effect as early as June of this year. Mortgage professionals, attorneys and loan originators are encouraged to join us for this essential training on the important elements of the final rule. Top mortgage attorneys Ari Karen, of Offit Kurman, and Donald Lampe, of Dykema, will cover exceptions in the rule, issues the bureau is still studying and how to comply with the rule's various parts. Specifically, they will instruct on: - Dual compensation and revisions to Regulation Z;
- Clarifications on loan originator qualifications and identification;
- Prohibitions and deadlines for implementation;
- Parameters surrounding compensation;
- Qualified plans;
- CFPB's stance on upfront points and fees; and
- And other significant provisions of the rule.
