The regulatory outlook for the mortgage industry has perhaps never looked more challenging. The mortgage market meltdown has resulted in an onslaught of new rules from both federal and state regulators. The new environment of much tougher mortgage regulation is quickly unfolding in 2012.

Find out about the latest developments in the mortgage regulatory landscape and what they will mean for various mortgage market players at a special Inside Mortgage Finance webinar kicking off the new year. What changes are right around the corner and how will they alter the mortgage lending and servicing business equation? Hear from some of the top law and regulation mortgage experts in the country at this must-attend event on Wednesday, January 25, at 2 pm ET.

The passage of Dodd-Frank legislation has empowered regulators to manage almost every aspect of the mortgage lending, servicing and securitization business. Many seasoned players are wondering if there will be any room for innovation and profitability in the new mortgage regulatory environment. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has emerged as the most important mortgage industry regulator, yet its slow and somewhat confusing implementation of new powers has made it difficult to figure out exactly what the mortgage regulation landscape of the future will look like.

Federal regulators must agree on “Qualified Residential Mortgage” criteria following a flood of opposition to a proposed rule. Meanwhile, the CFPB must finalize a separate regulation on a “Qualified Mortgage” standard that is part of a new requirement that lenders assess a borrower’s ability to repay a mortgage. The Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department are looking to crack down on mortgage advertising and fair lending, respectively.

Learn about the risks and liabilities found with many of the new regulatory initiatives at this webinar where experts will explain everything you need to know about regulatory challenges that lie ahead.

Among the topics to be discussed:

• The timetable for finalizing a QRM regulation and what changes may be made;
• The difference between QRM and QM standards and their application to lending practices;
• What risk-retention requirements may mean for different mortgage business models;
• How to handle activist legislators and regulators that are looking to levy penalties, sanctions, etc.;
• Truth in Lending Act liability and safe harbor standards;
• What to expect from the new CFPB examinations;
• How a lender can price a non-qualified mortgage to account for increased risk, and what the consequences are;
• How the RESPA-TILA reform process will change how we do business and interact with the public;
• The regulatory future of the non-agency or non-conforming mortgage market;
• The increased regulatory demands facing mortgage servicers – how to manage foreclosures and represent the interests of investors at the same time.

• Rod Alba, VP/Senior Regulatory Counsel, American Bankers Association
