Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 2
Trusts & TrusteesTrusts & Trustees are considered the same person for Reg Z
Right of Rescission must be provided to each person who has the Right to Rescind
LE & CD may include signature lines & insert Trustee’s name below, along with designation of Trustee for Trust

Housing Assistance LoansReg Z provides partial exemption from TRID
requirements for low-cost, non-interest bearing, subordinate lien housing assistance loans that satisfy 6 criteria
Revises 2 of 6 – regarding costs payable by the consumer at consummation without loss of eligibility for the partial exemption
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 3

Revises 2 of 6 criteria- Transfer Taxes, in addition to recording,application, and housing counseling fees, maybe payable by the consumer at consummationwithout losing eligibility for the partialexemption; and
- Recording Fees & Transfer Taxes areexcluded from the 1% cap on total costspayable by the consumer at consummation
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 3
Prior to 2017 Rule…If a valid Change in Circumstance
occurred after the CD had been provided, a revised CD could be used to reset the tolerances BUT only if it was less than 4 business days prior to consummation
(Revised LE may not be provided once CD is provided)
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 3
“Black Hole”This became known as the “black hole”
because a revised CD could not be provided if there were 4 or more days prior to consummation.
If the creditor waited until there were less than 3 business days, then the revised disclosure would be out of compliance because it must be provided within 3 business days of the Change in Circumstance.
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 3
4
The 4 business day requirement has now been removed and allows the tolerances to be reset via a valid Change in Circumstance and a revised Closing Disclosure any time after the initial Closing Disclosure has been sent
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 3
Best Information Reasonably AvailableThe best information reasonably available
standard (i.e., there is no tolerance limit on charges if they are based on the best information reasonably available) applies to bona fide 3rd party charges if:- Consumer is permitted to shop, &- Consumer selects provider not on the list, &- Estimated charges are best informationreasonably available, even if paid to affiliates
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 4
Revised Loan Estimates are allowed for informational purposes as well as to reset the tolerances but any revised LE requires all fees to be based on the “best information reasonably available” at the time of re-disclosure
Any revised LE for informational purposes have the same delivery requirements of 4 business days prior to consummation and 1 business day prior to the receipt of the CD
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 4
5
10% Cumulative ToleranceThe 10% cumulative tolerance applies
to a required 3rd party non-affiliate settlement charge, even if the creditor failed to disclose on the written list of providers or the written list was not provided at all, as long as the consumer is permitted to shop
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 4
0% Zero ToleranceZero 0% tolerance applies to required settlement service charges paid to anyone, if, based on the relevant facts & circumstances, the consumer was not permitted to shop
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 4
When fees are not disclosed, or they are disclosed with unreasonably low estimates, it results in these fees being placed in the Zero 0% tolerance category, regardless of whether or not the consumer did in fact shop for the service providerCopyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 4
6
Other Good Faith RequirementsEstimates for Charges that are not required by the creditor should be the best information reasonably available, for example:
-Property Taxes & Insurance-Amounts placed in Escrow-Prepaid Interest
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 5
Again, if creditor does not provide an estimate
or estimates are unreasonably low, then
the fee is subject to ZERO tolerance testing
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 5
Example: Creditor discloses unreasonably low estimated settlement agent fee of $20 when the average prices for the area are $150. The under-disclosure does not comply with “good faith” standards
Example: Creditor consistently discloses property taxes at $75/mo. but average for the area are $450/mo. The estimate does not comply with “good faith” standards
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com

Written List of Service Providers
If consumer is permitted to shop, but creditor fails to provide “written list of service providers” or provides a non-compliant list, these fees fall
into 10% tolerance category
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 6
If re-disclosure is issued due to a valid change in circumstance which results in a new fee the consumer is
permitted to shop for but creditor fails to provide “written list of
service providers” or provides a non-compliant list, these fees fall into
10% tolerance category
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 6
If a consumer is NOT permitted to shop, these
fees fall into the Zero tolerance category
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 6

Optional ServicesFees for optional services or those which are not subject to tolerance, remain in the no tolerance category, even if the service provider is the creditor or one of it’s affiliates, So long as…
consumer is permitted to shop, and
written list of service providers is providedwithout affiliates listed
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 6
Settlement Cost Expiration Date on LEIf a revised LE is issued after consumer
indicates “intent to proceed” the expiration date & time are left blank on the revised Loan Estimate – failure to leave this section blank is a violation
Creditor may voluntarily extend the expiration date either orally or in writing, allowing a
longer period of time for the “intent to proceed”
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 7
Rate LockIf rate is locked, a revised LE must be provided within 3 business days of a written Rate Lock Agreement, even if
none of the fees have changed
If CD has been issued, a revised CD will only need to be provided if the CD
becomes inaccurate

Page 14
Disbursement DateIn a purchase transaction, the disbursement date is generally based on when the final Cash to Close amount will be paid to the Seller or Consumer. If dates differ, either is acceptable. In a non-purchase transaction, the disbursement date is based on when some of the proceeds or the entire loan amount is expected to be paid to a third party, or the Consumer. In the case of a simultaneous subordinate lien, the disbursement date is based on when some or the entire loan amount is expected to be paid to a third party (excluding the Settlement Agent), or the Consumer.
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 14

Taxes & Other Government FeesThe total amount of fees for recording deeds and security instruments must each be disclosed on the first line under the subheading “Taxes and Other Government Fees,” and the total amounts paid for all recording fees must be disclosed in the applicable column. If the creditor chooses, it can itemize the individual recording fees, and is permitted to do so on a separate addendum, consistent with the preexisting rule.

Prepaid Interest
The creditor should disclose “$0.00” (not $0) for prepaid interest if, based on the “best information available,” the creditor does not believe it will collect prepaid interest.

Page 14
Cash to Close TableClosing Costs Financed (Paid from your Loan Amount):If a standard Closing Disclosure is used for a simultaneous subordinate purchase transaction, then sales price is excluded from any calculations in the Cash to Close table.
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 14
15
Down Payment/Funds From Borrower & Funds for Borrower:In a purchase money transaction, down payment and other funds from borrower will now be calculated by subtracting the loan amount and any other existing loans (i.e., subordinate financing) from the sales price.
In a purchase money transaction, if the calculation of the Down Payment/Funds From Borrower results in a positive number or $0, the amount disclosed for Down Payment/Funds From Borrower will be $0.
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 15
If the loan amount in a simultaneous subordinate lien loan or a purchase-plus transaction, or the sum of the current loan and any additional loan assumed or taken subject to, exceeds the sales price on a purchase transaction, that amount will be determined under Funds for Borrower.
Now allows Funds for Borrower field in a purchase transaction.
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 15
In non-purchase transactions, the current loan and any additional loan assumed or taken subject to, excluding closing costs financed, is subtracted from the amount of all existing debt being satisfied. A positive result is disclosed as Funds from Borrower and negative amount is disclosed as Funds for Borrower.

Page 15
Adjustments & Other CreditsThe 2017 Rule does not require amounts provided in advance of the real estate closing by third parties not otherwise involved in the transaction (such as gifts by family members) to be disclosed in the Summaries of Transactions table, and as a result, they will not be included in the Adjustments and Other Credits calculation.
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 15
Disclosure of Payoffs of Existing Liens & Unsecured DebtIf the creditor is not using the alternative LE & CDs, payoffs of existing liens and unsecured debts are disclosed as follows:
- On the LE for some transactions, including some purchase transactions, these amounts are factored into the Funds for Borrower calculation. Otherwise, these amounts are factored into the Adjustments and Other Credits calculation. - On the CD, these amounts are disclosed in the Summaries of Transactions table and, for some transactions (including some purchase transactions), are factored into the Funds for Borrower calculation. Otherwise, these amounts are factored into the Adjustments and Other Credits calculation.

Payoffs & Payment Table
The amount applied from a simultaneous subordinate lien loan to the first lien loan is shown in the
Estimated Total Payoffs and Payments on the LE and in the
Payoffs and Payments Table on the Subordinate financing CD
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 16
The proceeds of a simultaneous subordinate lien loan are included in the Estimated Total Payoffs and Payments in the Calculating Cash to Close Table on first lien loans eligible for the Alternative Loan Estimate, such as a refinancing
Copyright © FIC Conferences, Inc. www.ficconferences.com
Page 16
The total in the Payoffs and Payments table can now be a negative number, which would be a positive number in the Cash to Close table.
If there is a seller contribution on a simultaneous subordinate financing transaction disclosed on an alternative LE/CD, the amount of the seller contribution can be disclosed in the Payoffs and Payments table as a negative figure/credit.
Credits from third parties may be shown in the Payoffs and Payments table as credits.

Rounding in the LE & CDThe exact percentage amounts in the following disclosures are rounded to three decimal places: Certain Loan Terms table disclosures - the Interest Rate &
percentages under the subheading “Can this amount increase after closing?”
Certain Loan Costs - the points disclosed in Section A. Origination Charges
Certain Other Costs - the percentage disclosed for the Prepaid Interest amount
The Adjustable Interest Rate (AIR) table – all rates Certain Comparisons table disclosures - the Annual
