This good, but I need to say three words: barn door cow.
The high points:
- Prohibit giving people unaffordable loans.
- Restrict use of “liar” loans.
- Prohibit or limit prepayment penalties.
- Curb or better disclose broker incentives.
- Require or encourage escrowing of taxes and insurance.
- Prohibit coercion of appraisers.
- Prohibit loan servicers from engaging in unfair practices.
- Require better disclosure overall.
Of course, half of these should be done already by anyone who wants to operate for more than a few years and then leave town ahead of the police.
