RMBS Frontline Perspectives: CFPB Updates to Qualified Mortgage Rules and Significance for the Mortgage Finance Landscape
In mid-December, the CFPB finalized updates to the Qualified Mortgage (QM) rules, including changes to the 43% DTI threshold, the introduction of a “Seasoned QM” category, and an amendment to the “QM Patch” expiration for GSE-acquired loans. The various updates are anticipated to impact U.S. mortgage lending and the RMBS market in a number of ways.
