WE NEED YOUR HELP! Only You Can Save Owner Financing in Texas
Only You Can Save Owner Financing in TexasIt's a sad day when a regulatory body in Texas is working against property and business owners to make it extremely difficult to get an owner-financing transaction done. That's what it going on right now with the Texas Savings & Mortgage Lending Department (which handles licensing issues for mortgage companies and loan officers) which is proposing rule changes that would adversely affect your ability to sell your property, land, or business on seller financing.Link to the Seller Financing Coalition & Letter CampaignWatch the original video HERE!Currently, numerous proposed rule changes would harm future Texas home buyers, particularly those who are currently not well served by the financial services industry due to demographic and economic factors. These proposed rule changes will also hurt numerous small business owners and private home sellers. Two examples of harmful rule changes are:A. The Department’s new regulation requiring that all RMLO (Registered Mortgage Loan Originator) agents work for a bank or mortgage company harms Texas citizens in multiple ways.1. RMLOs can no longer be self-employed despite their own efforts to become licensed professionals.2. All prospective buyers must now seek to fit within the narrowing loan requirements imposed by banks and mortgage companies, etc. This denies access to credit to many hard-working people who are a) self-employed, b) buying vacant land, c) have lower incomes, and d) using multi-generational resources to qualify for homeownership loans.3. It means private individuals or small businesses that already own homes or properties cannot hire an RMLO to qualify potential buyers as part of a seller-financing transaction. This prevents such sellers from complying with Dodd-Frank.B. To legally meet the growing demand for non-bank financing on homes and vacant land numerous individuals rely upon seller financing. Private individuals or small businesses in Texas who offer seller-financing for homes or land to other Texans, frequently use independent RMLOs. Using these independent RMLOs protects both the Buyer and the Seller.Given these facts, the following proposed language in “§56.100 Licensing Requirements” is rather harmful.“However, if the lender owns the residential real estate securing the loan and has exceeded the limit for exempt transactions as provided by Finance Code §156.202(a-1) (3), the lender must be licensed under Finance Code Chapter 156, regardless of whether the lender has secured the services of an originator as provided by this subsection.”This proposed verbiage goes beyond the SAFE Act and Dodd-Frank requirements and imposes a harsh “scarcity penalty” on disadvantaged buyers by severely restricting the number of properties that a non-lender seller can sell using seller finance. This harsh and unnecessary restriction on what private citizens in Texas can do (sell) with their own houses and land is unwarranted. In a time of shrinking inventory and rising demand removing assets and liquidity from the market place is harmful to all Texans.Here are some reasons an individual or small business will hire an RMLO as part of a seller-financed transactionA. The RMLO ensures that all Dodd-Frank regulations are followed for both the lender and the borrower (homeowner).B. The RMLO agent makes sure the borrower (homeowner) is economically qualified to buy (has the ability to pay) and understands the specifics of the loan.C. Not using an RMLO allows unsavory lenders to take advantage of naïve borrowers.D. Not using an RMLO may cause individuals or small Texas businesses to unknowingly violate Dodd-Frank and face federal charges and/or penalties that could cause financial duress, or unintentionally destroy and close small Texas businesses.Love the show?
