Mba’s Broeksmit talks about gse -release while trigger ban leads nadembers leads
HR 2808 Prohibits the use of trigger leads while they are worked out exceptions for the current loan manager, the founder and any banks that have a retention relationship with the borrower.
It would be a big blow to the credit reports – especially ExperientialSaid sources – who earn millions of dollars every year means that other lenders want to take the loan after a hard credit bullet.
Given that the Senate has adopted similar legislation, interested parties expect that the bill will become the law this year. “Then this long nightmare will be behind us,” said Bob Broeksmit, the president and CEO of the MBA.
Release Fannie and Freddie
Broeksmit said the MBA does not believe that President Donald Trump’s social media reports on release Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac After almost 17 years of conservatory, indicates a fixed course or a timetable.
“I say that on the basis of conversations with important decision makers in the administration that keep saying that this is not a question of 2025,” he said.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has other priorities, he noticed, including tariff negotiations and the tax assessment.
“They have been in a conservatory for too long, but it works,” said Broeksmit. “The greatest concern is not to increase the costs of mortgage credit for Americans after the release. And to do that, the investors of the MBS must be sure that the government is behind the bond risk.”
The GSEs also do not yet have the level of capital that is needed to stand on its own, he said, which means that it will continue to take time to build up capital or change the rules for preserving capital. The Trump government, said Broeksmit, has shown no interest in drastically reducing the requirements of the capital ratio.
Deregulation steps
If the chaos of the Trump administration do not suck all oxygen from the air, the deregulation initiatives would be a larger news story, Broeksmit said.
“This is the really good news part of the first 140 days,” he said. “There has been so much Hud” FHFA” CFPB That has lifted the burdens of this industry. “
For example, the Biden administration has established a major flood-free rules that would require an increase of two feet in a large part of the country. That is gone. New standards for building environmental buildings that would have a dramatically increased costs have also disappeared. And the Federal Housing Finance Agency has also withdrawn a consultation bulletin from 2024 describing enforcement against unfair or misleading actions or practices (UDAP).
Despite some shouts for the death of the Bureau for Financial Protection of the Consumer, Broeksmit said the agency is needed. The MBA has lobby that there is enough staff to rewrite or enable rules.
He also said that federal supervisors are increasingly going to the enforcement roles of the state. One State in particular wants to pursue fair credit actions and if that happens, the MBA is planning to sue, he added.
Broeksmit also noted that the recent notification to change the LO CompReg could offer a much needed opportunity to reform the rules.
Finally, Broeksmit said that real estate provisions in the tax assessment are favorable. Ultimately, with regard to the actions of the Trump administration on housing: “If you get the noise, many good things will happen,” he said.
