Presidents' Day
We are into our second week of February and the year just seems like it is passing us so quickly.  Rates are good, business is good, and inventory seems to be getting a little better.  This weekend, many of us will celebrate two things - Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day.  Although George Washington's birthday is celebrated on February 22nd, it is observed as a federal holiday on the third Monday of February.  To complicate matters, Washington was actually born on February 11th in 1731!  How can that be?  During Washington's lifetime, people in Great Britain and America switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar (something most of Europe had done in 1582).  As a result of this calendar reform, people born before 1752 were told to add 11 days to their birth dates.  Those born between January 1st and March 25th, as Washington was, also had to add one year to be in sync with the new calendar.  By the time Washington became President in 1789, he celebrated his birthday on February 22nd and listed his year of birth as 1732.


CFPB
Today, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB) published a notice in the Federal Register to correct a typo regarding tolerances for property taxes and certain other property-related costs that was found in the "Supplementary Information" to the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure ruleLearn more here.


More CFPB
The CFPB is coming out with a " Know Before You Owe Mortgage Disclosure Rule - Construction Lending Outlook Live Webinar" on Tuesday, March 1st at 11:00am.  "This webinar will address questions that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has received relating to the rule in the context of construction lending.  Additional information and resources related to the Know Before You Owe Mortgage Disclosure Rule may be accessed at the CFPB's website here."


Subprime Lending
I've been hearing that subprime lending is coming back.  I even saw that one lender is bringing back bank statement loans.  Are we really going back to subprime lending?  Here is an article I came across that may be of interest to you.
