A mortgage company processes applications for both covered and non-covered loans. An applicant applies for a $50,000 home improvement loan not secured by a dwelling, then later applies for a $200,000 purchase mortgage. How should these be handled for HMDA reporting?

Correct Answer

B) Report only the purchase mortgage as it is a covered loan

Under Regulation C, only covered loans are reportable. Home improvement loans not secured by a dwelling are not covered loans, while purchase mortgages secured by dwellings are covered loans regardless of the applicant having other non-covered applications.

Answer Options
A
Report both applications since they are from the same applicant
B
Report only the purchase mortgage as it is a covered loan
C
Report only the home improvement loan as it was submitted first
D
Report neither since the applicant submitted multiple applications

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Under Regulation C, only covered loans are reportable. Home improvement loans not secured by a dwelling are not covered loans, while purchase mortgages secured by dwellings are covered loans regardless of the applicant having other non-covered applications.
