An MLO presents three loans to a borrower: a 30-year conventional at 4.0%, a 15-year conventional at 3.5%, and a 30-year FHA at 4.25%. All loans are in the lowest cost category within their respective loan types. Which statement about compliance is correct?
Correct Answer
B) This complies with anti-steering requirements for presenting multiple loan options

Different loan terms (15-year vs 30-year) constitute different loan categories, making this presentation compliant.
