No, this is not a HMDA reportable loan. It includes no residential structure.

ADV question – CAN-SPAM Laws for Email Marketing Campaigns
Content Compliance
*Make sure the sender information in your “From,” “To,” and routing data accurately identifies you or your business as the sender.
*Don’t send emails with false header information.
*Avoid misleading subject lines that make your email appear scam or spam. For example, if the email contains sexually-oriented information, you need to label it as “SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT” in the first part of the subject
line.
*Identify the email as an advertisement. The CAN SPAM law requires you to identify your email as an advertisement but gives you leeway in how you do this.The CAN-SPAM Act does not require
*A subject line: The CAN-SPAM Act does not require a specific subject line for commercial emails.
*The inclusion of certain words or phrases: There is no requirement to include specific words or phrases in a commercial email’s subject line or body to ensure CAN-SPAM compliance.Based on what this states, i do not think you would have to put an ADV in those type of emails.

This loan is considered not HMDA reportable because you are to report the address where the home improvements are being made. Interestingly, if it was a purchase or a cash out refinance you would have to report because the collateral is the home in the US. Another little caveat if they had not told you the funds for the home improvement were for the property in Mexico you have had to report.

Per TRID section §1026. 37(a)(9) this is a refinance regardless of who is on the deed. Since they are both on the original loan note. “Not for “purchase”, and if the credit will be used to refinance an existing obligation, but without regard to whether the creditor is the original creditor or a holder or servicer of the original obligation, that is secured by the property identified in paragraph (a)(6),”. State law may be the only thing that may change the purpose of this.

You would not lump these in with the appraisal. Since it a service they can’t shop for it must go in the zero tolerance bucket on the LE and the CD and clearly stated who the company. All fees are to be in alphabetical order. Since it is an Appraisal Service Fee you could list it that way and the fee as $100. They do not need to be separated into 2 lines. If they do not pay this outside of closing then it would be a finance charge.

Yes this is a violation for not being disclosed properly. TRID requires that the amounts and who they are paid to be accurate. Understanding how to properly write this up depends first on were they allowed to shop for the title copy and settlement agent? Depending on the answers would determine if it is zero tolerance, 10% or a permitted violation for curing. You also have a violation for preparing the disclosure wrong. Since you have found it to be inaccurate you must ensure a revised document goes out. But to do that the first question I asked needs to be determined. allowed or not allowed.

Since the proceeds are being used to purchase investment property it would recorded as a purchase. Anytime proceeds will be used to purchase a new property it is to be recorded as a purchase.

Do you have written proof of the verbal acceptance of the lower loan amount? If you do not, I would err on the side of caution and send him the AA notice. But if you have documentation of the acceptance then I would consider it a withdrawal for purpose of Reg B.
A conditional approval means that a mortgage underwriter is mostly satisfied with the mortgage application. The lender is willing to approve the mortgage so long the pending conditions are met. However, it is not a guarantee the application will be approved. Instead, it means the lender is willing to loan a specific amount of money based on certain criteria. In your example, it would be an denial and not a NOI. The application approval requires certain actions to be taken, for example an appraisal. Since this requirement was not allowed or completed then the loan could never be fully approved, so it would be a denial. Other conditional approval requirements like changes in a financial situation, government regulations, property condition could all lead to a declined final loan.

I’m of the opinion that you should follow what is written in the institution’s policy/procedures. I would also agree that you need to record the figure that was determined for the credit decision regardless of the errors, if your LAR hasn’t been filed. For any errors on prior year’s data or if a business decision is made to not update the corrected amount, you need to document those files with the reasoning for the difference. I would also recommend that you have documented training with the underwriters. Their miscalculations could provide risk to the institution not only for HMDA, but ATR, UDA(A)P and Fair Lending.

Yes, you are required to report the loan on the LAR for the year you acquired it. All information for the reporting fields of a purchased transaction can be found in section 4(a) Data Format and Itemization for HMDA rules. In answer to your question you would report the data of the application and not the date of your purchase.

Per Reg. Z section § 1026.9(c)(2)(iv)(D)(3) – Official Interpretation of When a Notice is not Required:
#8. Disclosure of annual percentage rates. If a rate disclosed pursuant to § 1026.9(c)(2)(v)(B) or (c)(2)(v)(D) is a variable rate, the creditor must disclose the fact that the rate may vary and how the rate is determined. For example, a creditor could state “After October 1, 2009, your APR will be 14.99%. This APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate.”At the time of the initial disclosure if you had used the model language and explained the rate was based on Prime, Wall street journal etc. you do not need to send them a notice an additional notice would not be needed.
Official interpretations go on to say:See interpretation of 9(c)(2)(v) Notice not Required in Supplement I
C) When the change is an increase in a variable annual percentage rate in accordance with a credit card or other account agreement that provides for changes in the rate according to operation of an index that is not under the control of the creditor and is available to the general public.
D) When the change is an increase in an annual percentage rate, a fee or charge required to be disclosed under § 1026.6(b)(2)(ii), (b)(2)(iii), (b)(2)(viii), (b)(2)(ix), (b)(2)(ix) or (b)(2)(xii), or the required minimum periodic payment due to the completion of a workout or temporary hardship arrangement by the consumer or the consumer’s failure to comply with the terms of such an arrangement, provided that:(1) The annual percentage rate or fee or charge applicable to a category of transactions or the required minimum periodic payment following any such increase does not exceed the rate or fee or charge or required minimum periodic payment that applied to that category of transactions prior to commencement of the arrangement or, if the rate that applied to a category of transactions prior to the commencement of the workout or temporary hardship arrangement was a variable rate, the rate following any such increase is a variable rate determined by the same formula (index and margin) that applied to the category of transactions prior to commencement of the workout or temporary hardship arrangement; and
(2) The creditor has provided the consumer, prior to the commencement of such arrangement, with a clear and conspicuous disclosure of the terms of the arrangement (including any increases due to such completion or failure). This disclosure must generally be provided in writing. However, a creditor may provide the disclosure of the terms of the arrangement orally by telephone, provided that the creditor mails or delivers a written disclosure of the terms of the arrangement to the consumer as soon as reasonably practicable after the oral disclosure is provided.
When the change is an increase in an annual percentage rate, a fee or charge required to be disclosed under § 1026.6(b)(2)(ii), (b)(2)(iii), (b)(2)(viii), (b)(2)(ix), (b)(2)(ix) or (b)(2)(xii), or the required minimum periodic payment due to the completion of a workout or temporary hardship arrangement by the consumer or the consumer’s failure to comply with the terms of such an arrangement, provided that:
(1) The annual percentage rate or fee or charge applicable to a category of transactions or the required minimum periodic payment following any such increase does not exceed the rate or fee or charge or required minimum periodic payment that applied to that category of transactions prior to commencement of the arrangement or, if the rate that applied to a category of transactions prior to the commencement of the workout or temporary hardship arrangement was a variable rate, the rate following any such increase is a variable rate determined by the same formula (index and margin) that applied to the category of transactions prior to commencement of the workout or temporary hardship arrangement; and

Classification is not dependent on the amount being lower than requested by the borrower. Anytime you would change the request up or down it would be considered a counteroffer because it is not what they requested at the time of application.
specifically HMDA Comments for 1003.4 Paragraph 4(a)(6) 9. Action taken – Counteroffers states “If a financial institution makes a counteroffer to lend on terms different from the applicant’s initial request (for example, for a shorter loan maturity, with a different interest rate, or in a different amount)”

To use a Private Policy the Regulation requires the following:
1. That the policy is issued by an insurance company that is:
• Licensed, admitted, or otherwise approved to engage in the business of insurance by the insurance regulator of the State or jurisdiction in which the property to be insured is located.
• Recognized, or not disapproved, as a surplus lines insurer by the insurance regulator of the State or jurisdiction in which the property to be insured is located in the case of a policy of difference in conditions,
multiple peril, all risk, or other blanket coverage insuring nonresidential commercial property.2. The Policy must also at minimum contain:
• Define the term ‘‘flood’ to include the events defined as a ‘‘flood’ in an SFIP.
• Contain the coverage specified in an SFIP, including that relating to building property coverage; personal property coverage, if purchased by the insured mortgagor(s); other coverages; and increased cost of
compliance coverage.
• Contain deductibles no higher than the specified maximum, and include similar non-applicability provisions, as under an SFIP, for any total policy coverage amount up to the maximum available under the NFIP at the
time the policy is provided to the lender.
• Provide coverage for direct physical loss caused by a flood and may only exclude other causes of loss that are excluded in an SFIP. Any exclusions other than those in an SFIP may pertain only to coverage that is in
addition to the amount and type of coverage that could be provided by an SFIP or have the effect of providing broader coverage to the policyholder; and
• Not contain conditions that narrow the coverage provided in an SFIP.
• A requirement for the insurer to give written notice 45 days before cancellation or non-renewal of flood insurance coverage to:
o The insured; and
o The financial institution that made the designated loan secured by the property covered by the flood insurance, or the servicer acting on its behalf.
• Information about the availability of flood insurance coverage under the NFIP.
• A mortgage interest clause similar to the clause contained in an SFIP; and
• A provision requiring an insured to file suit not later than one year after the date of a written denial of all or part of a claim under the policy; and3. The regulation also allows a Financial Institution to rely on the Compliance Aid Statement in the Policy if it is worded exactly as the regulation has it written.
If a Private Policy does not meet these standards then it will not meet the Regulation requirements for required flood coverage.
