1. Fixed-Rate Mortgage Law:
Governs mortgages with an interest rate that remains constant throughout the life of the loan, providing predictable monthly payments and stability against interest rate fluctuations.
2. Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) Law:
Covers mortgages with interest rates that adjust periodically based on changes in a corresponding financial index that’s associated with the loan. This law includes disclosures about the adjustment frequency and caps on rate changes to protect consumers.
3. Reverse Mortgage Law:
Pertains to loans for older homeowners (typically over 62) that allow them to convert part of the equity in their homes into cash without having to sell the home or pay additional monthly bills. The law includes protections such as mandatory counseling and disclosures to ensure that borrowers understand the terms and implications.
4. Commercial Mortgage Law:
Applies to loans secured by commercial property as opposed to residential property. This law covers issues like breach of contract, foreclosure processes, and the rights and obligations of all parties involved.
5. FHA Loans and VA Loans Law:
Governs loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These laws include specific guidelines on borrower eligibility, property standards, loan limits, and other requirements.
6. Balloon Mortgage Law:
Regulates balloon mortgages where a large portion of the borrowed amount is repaid in a single payment at the end of the loan term. This law covers disclosure requirements and the risks involved in such financing arrangements.
7. Interest-Only Mortgage Law:
Pertains to loan structures where the borrower pays only the interest on the principal balance, with the principal balance unchanged for a set period. Laws regulate the disclosure of repayment terms and the transition to amortizing payments.
8. Subprime Mortgage Law:
Addresses loans made to borrowers with lower credit ratings. These laws focus on predatory lending practices, disclosure of terms, and the risks of higher interest rates and default.
9. Jumbo Mortgage Law:
Covers non-conforming loans that exceed the loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Jumbo loans often carry higher interest rates and more stringent credit requirements, and laws may address these aspects to ensure fair lending practices.
10. Mortgage Refinancing Law:
Governs the process of obtaining a new mortgage to replace the original loan. Laws ensure that borrowers are fully informed of the costs, benefits, and terms involved in refinancing.
