Federal Mortgage LawsQuestion 29 of 400
A loan is classified as a 'higher-priced mortgage loan' (HPML) under Regulation Z. Which additional requirement generally applies?
a.The loan must be interest-only
b.No appraisal is ever required
c.An escrow account for taxes and insurance is generally required for a minimum period, and a written appraisal with interior inspection is required
d.The APR must be disclosed only orally
Explanation
HPMLs trigger extra protections: lenders generally must establish an escrow account for property taxes and insurance for at least the first five years and obtain a written appraisal based on a physical interior inspection. HPMLs are not required to be interior-only or interest-only, and appraisals are required rather than waived. Oral APR disclosure is never sufficient.
