Homeowners Protection Act (HPA)
This title is one of the many courses available in the AllRegs Education Package subscription program!
The Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) became effective in 1999 to address the difficulty in cancellation of primary mortgage insurance (PMI) experienced by homeowners. The act not only provides provisions for the cancellation of PMI, but it also establishes disclosure and notification requirements. AllRegs Academy’s Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) self-study online course is designed to provide clarity on the Act by examining the requirements that it places on lenders and servicers of mortgage loans.
The course will distinguish between the requirements for conforming and non-conforming mortgages, high risk and non-high risk mortgages and adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgages regarding PMI cancellation options and PMI disclosure requirements. Upon completion of this course, students will better recognize the requirements of the lender and servicer regarding PMI disclosure and cancellation.
What will I learn?

- List options for removing borrower-paid PMI
- Distinguish between Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac high risk loans and lender-defined high risk loans
- Identify differences in disclosures for an adjustable rate mortgage and a fixed rate mortgage
