I would like to know which type of loans are covered as section 32 mortgages
Hi Wilber,

A mortgage will be a section 32 mortgage if for the mortgage the APR is higher than what the comparable rates are for Treasury Securities by more than 8% points having the same term of maturity as for your mortgage.

Let me tell you about second mortgages.

If the APR is more than 10% points, to what the rates are for Treasury securities of the same term than this kind of second mortgages are also considered as section 32 mortgages.

Hi Wilber,

One another condition if it is applicable in your situation can make the mortgage to be a section 32 mortgage is that at the time of closing if the points and total fees that are to be paid are more than the larger of $528 or 8% of the total loan amount.

Also total fees amount includes any insurance premium that is required to be paid for the insurance.

Thanks

If you are looking for loan for buying or for building your home, get a reverse mortgage or home equity line of credit then the rules which are mentioned for section 32 mortgages will not be applicable.

Hi Wilber,

Section 32 mortgages are not meant for those willing to buy or build a home. They also do not include reverse mortgages, home equity line of credit. Instead, these serve the purpose of refinance or home equity loans.

Under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA), the truth-in-lending act (TILA) is amended by including the guidelines for high rate or high fee loans within Regulation Z of the TILA. The section providing the required guidelines is known as Section 32.

The home loans covered by Section 32 include those products, which satisfy the following criteria:

  • For a first mortgage on the property, the APR must exceed the rates on Treasury securities (having comparable maturity) by at least 8 percentage points.

  • For a home equity loan, the APR should be 10% more than the rates in Treasury Securities of comparable maturity.

  • As decided upon by the Federal Reserve Board, the total fees and points paid by the borrower at or prior to closing must exceed 8% of the loan amount or $528 (for 2006), whichever is larger.
For information on the fees charged for this loan and related details, go through the previous discussion on Section 32 loans .

Thanks
