‘Qualified mortgages’ to be exempt from new risk requirement
June 1st, 2010
Written by Frost Mortgage
The recent “Wall Street Reform” bill required that 5 percent of a mortgage be retained as a buffer against risk. Fortunately, as National Mortgage Newsreports, a measure passed in May amended that requirement to exempt “qualified mortgages” (subscription required)–those that are generally fully documented and include 20 percent down and mortgage insurance. We agree with Sen. Johnny Isakson, one of the co-sponsors of the bill, who said, “Risk retention is not the cure-all for good lending–underwriting is.”
