The pendulum is in the exact opposite phase right now, for everything that didn't need to be verified at all in 2006, now it needs to be verified 3 different ways (80% of the paperwork required you actually didn't even see or provide because it was on the back end, a typical printed loan file is currently about 4 inches thick, compliance costs to originate a FNMA mortgage are about $4000 to $8000 depending on who you ask).
