Real Estate Lending Compliance
Aldrich and Bonnefin is pleased to invite you and your compliance and lending personnel to attend a seminar on regulatory compliance in real estate-secured consumer lending. This full-day presentation will focus on compliance with the many state and federal laws and regulations that govern real estate loans to consumers. Please note that this seminar will not cover basic real estate lending documentation, but rather will be a review of compliance laws and regulations affecting purchase money, refinance and home equity loans. Our focus will be on closed-end (nonrevolving) loans.

We offer a user-friendly approach: When does each regulation apply? What are the key definitions and how can a lender keep them straight? What are the current developments for each regulation? What are some practical compliance tips for each regulation? We will use plenty of "real world" examples of the rules we discuss.
