- 05/18/10 05:24 PM
What You Should Know about the New GFE and HUD-1 Forms One of the more interesting sessions at NAR on day 2 last week, surprisingly, was a session on RESPA, specifically the new GFE (Good Faith Estimate) and HUD-1 Forms. Phillip Schulman, Esq., conducted the session with plenty of specific things to know and a fair bit of humor.
The main components of these documents include:
New GFE (Good Faith Estimate) Controversial YSP (Yield Spread Premium) Tolerance limitations (Zero, 10%, No Tolerance) New HUD-1 (now 3 pages) Average Charges The irony, of course, is the intent was to simplify, yet … (33 comments)

While there can be complications, twists in the road, and unexpected issues in any transaction, short sales and foreclosures seem to result in more unanticipated … (10 comments)
