Don't say that you never commented on the plethora of things the CFPB is considering, especially QM - the borrower's ability to repay proposals. The CFPB delayed new rules to create standards for the mortgage-lending industry, and extended the public comment period above. Not to be confused with QRM, "Qualified...
