Ok...so normally I write about specific things as to HOW to do this or WHY to do that but as you know from reading my blogs I get questions from Realtors and Lenders every single day. Many times they are the same questions so I thought I would start a new thing where I [...]
The CFPB Proposed Rule Changes are here and the way we do business is going to be different...we think anyway. What is the CFPB anyway? CFPB stands for "Consumer Financial Protection Bureau."
