@Alex G. through my research and conversations with those in the business, your reference to Anti-Predatory Lending: Title XIV of the Dodd Frank Act applies to MORTGAGE ORIGINATION an addresses Mortgage Originators (Definition of “Mortgage Originator”The Mortgage Reform Act defines a “mortgage originator”as “any person who, for direct or indirect compensation or gain, or inthe expectation of direct or indirect compensation or gain: (i) takes aresidential mortgage application; (ii) assists a consumer in obtainingor applying to obtain a residential mortgage loan; or, (iii) offers ornegotiates terms of a residential mortgage loan.”Mobile homes are PERSONAL PROPERTY, not REAL PROPERTY, thus we do not create a mortgage note.

Is this really true it could go away if their reform passes?

This is per the OCC regulations.www.occ.treas.gov/ftp/bulletin/2005-6a.pdfAlso see Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA); Amendment to FIRREA effective June 7, 1994; Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines (October 7, 1994); Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP)I haven't seen or heard of any changes from the current policy.

the people that sue just to make a quick buckOK, first off those people barely exist, and the ones that do always make sure that they're suing someone with really deep pockets, large retailers, hotel chains etc. 99.9% of stories that you hear about outlandish lawsuits are complete BS, dreamed up by polititicians trying to pass "lawsuit reform" laws that are much more likely to HARM YOU than to hurt you.worry about the prospect of an injury on a rentalThat's why I've always carried an umbrella policy, currently at $1 million, formerly at $5 million, I pay about $175/year for that in TX, probably cheaper in states where insurance is regulated!
