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

The anti-steering provisions require presenting the loan with the lowest interest rate, the loan with the lowest points and fees, and the loan with the lowest rate without negative amortization or prepayment penalty within each category. Different loan terms (15-year vs 30-year) constitute different loan categories, making this presentation compliant.

Answer Options
A
This violates anti-steering rules because only one loan from each category was presented
B
This complies with anti-steering requirements for presenting multiple loan options
C
This is non-compliant because the FHA loan has a higher rate than conventional options
D
This violates the rule requiring loans with identical terms across all categories

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The anti-steering provisions require presenting the loan with the lowest interest rate, the loan with the lowest points and fees, and the loan with the lowest rate without negative amortization or prepayment penalty within each category. Different loan terms (15-year vs 30-year) constitute different loan categories, making this presentation compliant.
