HUD Keeping Tabs on Performance of FHA Lenders.(Housing and Urban Development)(Federal Housing Administration)
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is sticking to its regulatory agenda of making Federal Housing Administration lenders more accountable for the performance of their originations.
HUD is very close to issuing a controversial final rule that would make FHA lenders accountable to the quality of the appraisals they use to approve a loan.
The department also is signaling its plans to impose a new FHA approval process for servicers. The details are very sketchy. But it appears HUD wants to monitor FHA servicers for defaults, foreclosures and their loss mitigation efforts.
At the same time, HUD has beefed up the quality control efforts it expects from FHA lenders. And for the first time, it spelled out the quality control efforts it expects from FHA servicers.
On Christmas Eve, HUD sent to the Office of Management and Budget a final rule on lenders responsibility for appraisals. OMB reviews and clears all regulations before they can be published in the Federal Register.
The proposed rule drew sharp opposition from lender groups because it would require lenders to indemnify HUD for losses due to inflated appraisals.
"Lenders understand and will step up to the plate when it comes to being accountable for the actions of their employees and even their loan correspondents," said mortgage banking attorney Phillip Schulman.
