Loan Originator Compensation: The New Rules
IMF Publications, Jan 2011
Paying mortgage originators will never be the same. The Federal Reserve Board has proposed major changes as part of its Truth in Lending rules. The Dodd-Frank legislation also spells out a new set of compensation requirements. And to further complicate matters, the Department of Labor recently issued an interpretation covering overtime for loan originators. The industry is waiting for clarification.
Find out what these regulatory developments will mean for you and your business by listening to Inside Mortgage Finance’s Loan Originator Compensation: The New Rules webinar. A panel of industry experts explained the key issues and answered questions during this 90-minute session.
